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

Not really.  The song itself doesn't crossfade, it starts at full volume.  The delay length is known ahead of time.  So if you use a 2-second delay, you create a 5 or 6 second sound effect and build the fade into the sound effect itself.

To make this work well, though, you really need to have several effects and have the juke pick one randomly.  It won't take long for the exact pop/hiss pattern to become really noticeable over and over.   That won't be in the next version, but in the next major revision it should be doable.

Not that I'm aware of... certainly nothing an end-user can plug in.

So the sound effect could actually play over the song?

Here is an example of what the SFX might sound like...

That's the first time I've ever isolated and enhanced record noise! :)

Sure.  There is a separate volume setting for sound effects when songs are playing, and by default it's set to 0 to disable sound effects when the music is on.  But it's only checked when the sound effect starts... so if the sound starts before the song does, it can play on top of it.

Okay, this is all in and working beautifully, right down to the clicks playing under the beginning of the song and fading out. I may even make it part of the default "classic" skin.  Look for a release tonight.  Still have a touchscreen issue to fix.

Chris has made this part of the latest release and it's great!   :applaud:
