We're known for not leaving dancers on the floor waiting, but it gets hard as I have to "crossfade" between my VA-7 and Mini-disc at the moment.
Trying to manage two (or even three with the I-pod) different machines is hell compared to the much more sensible option (imho) of using the one machine to keep the music flowing.
I guess I should make the disclaimer here that I have specific needs that other people mightn't find a priority.
I'm not trying to rag on any Brand here with this topic, I just want what's right for me....
Let me suggest how could you manage this with G-70:
1 - You can select a new song while the previous is playing and then, pressing the Start/Stop button twice, the current song will stop and the new one will start immediately.
2 - You can prepare a Playlist with your songs and they can be played in sequence with no pause (you can also jump from one song to another in the list same as above).
3 - Since pressing the Style Start while a song is running makes the song stop and the style start immediately (and vice versa), you can use a style (even a simple drum loop) as an intermezzo between two songs.
