The Server Settings preferences dialog

This dialog allows you to further control the server.

The following options are available:

# Crossfade:

# Enable crossfade

This sets, whether crossfading is enabled or not.

# fade time (s)

This sets, how many seconds the songs should blend together on song change.

# Output Devices:

This lists all available output devices, which are configured on the server. To enable / disable output devices, check or uncheck the box in the "Enabled" column.

You can also switch between output devices in the "Server" menu of GMPC's main window or by key combinations.

MPD not only offers local playback, but also has great streaming support, e.g. over http. Those "output devices" will be shown here as well.
