Ahhhh... That's a clever trick. But I don't think I'll do it quite yet...

I could be wrong here, but I think the maximum is now 3 instead of 5, because the developers thought that 5 seconds was a bit too long for some reason. Why exactly they thought that I don't know, but I'm guessing it's memory related. Or, lack there of.

In other words, 5 seconds probably causes problems, so they lowered it. That's my guess.

And personally, I'll take stability over increased crossfade time.

As long as crossfade works smoothly, it's all good.
