I'm not sure if Rev has the ability to get the total length in time of 
an mp3 file, but if it can, then you should be able to also track the 
time in Rev and start the next file say 4 or 5 seconds near the end of 
the first file.

In another language I made a DJ system with 3 slots setup and allowed 
the DJ to either manually transition between songs, or automatically.  I 
think I used 4 or 5 seconds as the default.

Also, is it possible in Rev to set the volume of each player? If so, you 
can set the volume of player 2 to 0, load it's file up and start playing 
it just to insure it's getting loaded up, then stop it, and set it back 
to it's start position and set the volume of it back to where it was.  
Then when the first player is just about done, second player is already 
primed and ready.
