Feature description
Allow users to define multiple skip ranges inside a track without modifying the original audio file.
Example:
Track duration: 6:00
Skip segments:
0:00 → 0:18
2:45 → 3:10
5:20 → 6:00
During playback, Symfonium would automatically skip those sections.
Each skip segment could support customizable transition behaviors:
instant jump
fade out + fade in
smart crossfade
configurable transition duration
Suggested implementation:
Save skip ranges in Symfonium database (non-destructive)
Per-track timeline/waveform editor
Optional import/export of playback edits
Problem solved
Some tracks contain:
long intros/outros
silence
talking sections
repeated choruses
unnecessary instrumental sections
DJ/radio interruptions
Currently users must:
manually seek every playback
permanently edit audio files externally
create separate edited copies
This interrupts smooth listening experience and playlist flow.
Brought benefits
Smoother continuous playback
Personalized “radio edit” experience
Better playlist transitions
Improved listening flow for FLAC/music collectors
More enjoyable live recordings and long mixes
No need to modify original files
Unique advanced playback customization compared to traditional music players
Other application solutions
Some DJ and media applications partially solve this problem using:
cue points
automix
silence skipping
timeline editing
Examples:
DJ software (Traktor, Mixxx, djay) supports cue points and transition logic
Video editors support non-destructive timeline cuts
Podcast apps support silence skipping
However, most music players do not provide per-track multi-segment playback skipping with customizable transitions.
