BayTex Fiesta! (BTF!) handles automated playback of MP3 music without any gaps between songs. So BTF! effectively is a MP3-mixing solution. it is possible to define the time-span for two songs to be audible together and the time-span for the ending song to fade out. A default setting for all songs can be set-up as well as specific settings for individual songs.
BTF! uses playlists to save all settings, so that these can be opened again and utilized or changed over and over again.
Useful tips:
- It's recommended to disable the following MacAmp options: Random Order, Repeat and Remember the Playlist. These options are available in the main window and in the menu "Edit/Preferences" .
- BTF! is completly compatible with MP3 lists created by MacAmp. In order to use them, you must EXPORT them from MacAmp (menu "File", command "Export List…". Only available for MacAmp Beta versions).
- BTF! is designed to calculate the lenght of each MP3 based on its size. That's why song of lower quality than 128kbit/44khz or higher than 190kbit/44khz will appear with wrong song lenght times. In order to correct this problem, BTF! is compatible with the song lenght calculated by MP3tool (http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d2linjo/mp3/mp3tool.html). If you don't use it in this kind of songs, you may experience some lenght time errors.
