Crossfade and equalizer configurations

[S. Moussly]

There is an option in iTunes where you can eliminate the crossfading between
tracks. This is obviously useful when you are listening to a live concert or
DJ session. The only problem is that crossfading is implemented on all the
tracks in your iTunes list. Is there a way to specify the crossfading length
for each album? Also, is the crossfading setting synchronized into iPod?

There is also an option in iTunes where you can set each track with its
equalizer setting. Are these setting synchronized into the iPod, or do you
have to switch the equalizer every time you change your music genre in your
iPod?

TIA
