We play music for a meeting every morning to get everyone gathered together and it's just a cool way to start out the meeting.  The biggest issue I'm having is starting and stopping the music is so abrupt and irritating.  I've been using Winamp for some songs that we have on the computer itself and it does a good job of creating that fade in / fad out effect for volume.  However I get requests sometimes for songs that we don' t have so I usually just look it up on YouTube.  The problem is I can't fade in/fade out just using www.youtube.com.  

My question is does anyone have any suggestions for resolving this problem?  I don't have to use WinAmp.  It's just been a good solution for the songs we do have because basically it has that fade in/fade out volume control built in.  

Thanks!

cwstad2 that is really cool however not quite what I need.  I pretty much want to just be able to hit pause and have the volume slowly fade out on me, then when I hit play it slowly comes in and get louder.  I don't want to have to do it manually.  WinAmp does a really good job of this but again I'm limited to just a certain number of songs that I have on my computer.  So that's why I was asking if there was something like that.  It doesn't even need to be youtube.

The thing is with youtube audio /video you have no control over the volume
 that it was recorded in.
I find lots of the music is overly bassed out.
Even downloading them still retains the nasty volume and the low volume levels.
All you could  realistically do is stream youtube among your playlists in winamp
that way you can still have you fade in and fade out.
Give it a try

This seems to be working although I think I may have to purchase the full version of WinAmp to play Flash Files.  Thanks for the help.
The only video format Winamp Pro adds is H.264.

FLV/Flash files are not H.264 format.

Adobe's Flash Player can display H.264 encoded video, however.
