The Apple Music app is reportedly set to be revolutionized with the launch of iOS 18. One of the most exciting new features is the Smart Song Transitions feature. This feature promises a seamless listening experience and offers Apple Music users a new dimension in music playback. Find out in this article what to expect with iOS 18 and how these new features can improve your music experience.
Music is an essential part of our lives. Whether during sports, on the way to work or during relaxing moments at home - music is always with us. Apple Music has constantly evolved since its launch to offer users the best possible listening experience. With the upcoming version iOS 18, Apple is raising the bar again. The intelligent song transitions in particular will take music listening to a new level. Let's take a look together at this exciting information that AppleInsider experience want to have.
Intelligent song transitions: A new listening experience
With iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS 15, the Apple Music app is being enhanced with a groundbreaking feature - intelligent song transitions. This new feature represents a significant improvement on the previous crossfade option. Previously, it was only possible to set a simple crossfade between two songs. But with intelligent song transitions, you can individually adjust the crossfade duration between 1 and 12 seconds. The crossfade itself is done by slowly reducing the volume of the expiring song and simultaneously increasing the volume of the new song. This creates a smooth transition in which the music never completely ends. This feature ensures that your playlists and albums sound even more harmonious and you can enjoy an uninterrupted listening experience.
Passthrough: A Mysterious Function
In addition to the intelligent song transitions, AppleInsider reports another planned feature called "Passthrough". No exact details are known yet about what this feature entails. However, there is speculation that Passthrough could be connected to Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos. These technologies have already revolutionized the way we experience music and films. It remains exciting to see what innovations Apple has in store here.
Spatial Gaming: A Look into the Future
Another exciting rumor that AppleInsider has picked up is the possible introduction of a "Spatial Gaming" feature. Here, too, the details are still sparse, but the idea of immersive, spatial sound in video games makes the hearts of gaming enthusiasts beat faster. Apple may not only revolutionize music playback with iOS 18, but also the gaming experience.
