Could WinCab add the "pops & clicks" of vinyl to the beginning of MP3's?

RPO R6V:
Yet another question or request.  Hope I'm not being a big pain in the arse!  I posted this question to the general Audio/Jukebox/MP3 message board, but since I selfishly want it for WinCab since that's what I'm using, I'll paraphrase it here:

Has anyone else heard Sirius satellite radio's channel called "Classic Vinyl"?  Sometimes when they play a song (usually after a station ID) you hear, just before the song, the sound of a phonograph needle touching down on a vinyl record, complete with clicks and pops as though the record were not very clean - then, about one second later, the song starts to play while the clicks and pops continue in the background for just a couple of seconds at most and then fade out, leaving just the usual sound quality of as though you were listening to a CD.  Could WinCab do this somehow? 

Chris:
Hm.  There's a message for a song starting that you can key a sound effect off, but it's triggered when the music actually starts.  I'd need to add a message to the beginning of the delay.  You can already set the inter-song delay time in jukebox.ini, then you just need to create the sound effect with the desired length and fade built into it.

Since the sound effect will start when the song isn't playing, it won't be affected by the Volume When Playing setting which is usually 0.

This message is trivial to add.  I'll put it in for the next update, which will come "any day now" after I iron out a touchscreen problem.  If you can slip me your E-mail address at celamantia@charter.net, I can send you a test version before I fix the touchscreen (assuming you don't need a touchscreen).

RPO R6V:
You've got mail (or should soon).  Thanks!

Chris:
Trying to think of the best way to do this.  I had a huge post here about it but decided to make it a topic of its own.

In order for this to sound like the Sirius effect, a crossfade would have to be implemented between the sound effect and the song, which leads me to the next question...are there any bells and whistles available to plug in to the Allegro MP3 engine? I haven't found very much support/documentation for allegMP3 online.
