+This plugin can be used to remove the gaps between two songs, or to 
+smoothly crossfade inbetween.
+
+Features:
+ 
+    * Crossfading
+      Crossfade between two songs, i.e. fade out the end of the current song 
+      while fading in the beginning of the next for a smooth transition. Length 
+      and volume of the fadings can be adjusted separately for fading in and 
+      out.
+    
+    * Fadein/Fadeout
+      Smoothly fadein/fadeout at the beginning or end of playback.
+
+    * Continuous output
+      Keeps the audio device opened when switching from one song to the next. 
+      When used with the Gap-Killer, this allows for seamless playback of whole 
+      albums without any audible interruption between the tracks.
+
+    * Gap-Killer
+      Removes the short gaps of silence at the beginning and/or end of mp3 
+      files. These gaps are caused by some mp3-encoders.
+
+    * Automatic detection of live albums
+      Automatically detects live albums and pre-mixed tracks which already are 
+      crossfaded. For those tracks, crossfading can be disabled automatically.
+
+    * High quality
+      XMMS-crossfade can take special care to avoid the clicks some 
+      soundcards produce when suddenly being stopped. Also, it can improve 
+      quality when seeking within a song.
+
+    * Secondary effect plugin:
+      XMMS-crossfade allows you to select a second effect plugin. This is 
+      usefull for example when using the volume normalizing plugin together 
+      with the icecast plugin.
