I'm not sure if Replay Gain has an enormous amount of appeal for the typical dyed-in-the-wool audiophile, although it's a godsend for casual listening.
I love the Smart Gain idea, but I'm not so sure I agree with requiring track order. If you queue up an album, then you delete a track (you know, that one track that always ruins the album-listening experience :-) will Smart Gain revert to Track Gain? I don't think it should. I'd prefer logic along the lines of "if three or more tracks in a row are from the same album, then use Album Gain, otherwise use Track Gain". -- JJZolx Jim _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
