In providing a seamless transition between two audio Streams using the cross-fade technique, a clock rate in processing the current audio Stream is increased. The increased audio Stream processing rate permits the current audio Stream to finish processing the initial audio Stream by the beginning of the fade-out or fade-in duration period, whichever is longer. The initial audio Stream continues to be presented at the original clock rate, even during the fade-out and/or fade-in duration. However, the portion of the initial audio Stream that is to be played during the fade-in and/or fade-out portion of the presentation is stored in a memory unit. During the Cross-Fade Duration, the portion of the initial audio Stream stored in the memory unit is retrieved and combined with a second audio Stream according to the cross-fader algorithm.
An audio reproducing apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
A method of combining two audio Streams with a cross-fade process, the method comprising:
An apparatus for combining a first audio Stream and a next audio Stream, the apparatus comprising:
