Editing Audio Only and Enhanced Audio Zones
Audio Only zones allow you to play audio files using a standard or interactive
playlist. Enhanced Audio zones provide similar functionality, but allow cross-
fading between audio files: Fading occurs from silence at the beginning of the
audio playlist and to silence at the end of the audio playlist; cross-fading
occurs between audio files.
Note: Cross-fading will not work in Enhanced Audio zones if the audio tracks
use different sampling rates (for example, if the first file is sampled at 48kHz
and the second is sampled at 44kHz).
