Hi Shawn, Crossfading is simpley when you listen to two songs on the radio for example and at the end of one you hear another begin to play this is what the cross fade effect does. It in simple terms lowers the volume on one track and begins bringing up the volume when it is supposed to on the next track. Now also along with this goes also no gaps. This fits in the picture this way. Example: You have "song a" and "song b" set up in your playlist. If you have the crosfading app this is what it does in layman terms. First it waits until very very very close to the end of the first song then at this very very very end it reduces the volume and as we reduce the volume we also are making sure there are not much or any gaps between our songs. Now as the new song comes in it is faded just a bit but it is above our hearing range so we don't actually hear the fade. This fade is not long at all just enough to work with what ever gap killer is in effect and then we come out with a good cross fade as long as the app is descently written. Probably more than you wanted to know but I worked as a dj and had to learn all the terms and how to use them.
