I'm not sure I get that first part: it decodes the whole track, finds the peaks and adjusts the gain so that the peaks are just hitting the tippy-top of the range. It isnt hard to do that without clipping in software. Think of a series of numbers (which is all digital music is): 39, 29, 23, 47, 48, 32... if the range is 0-100 without clipping, then multiply all the numbers by a constant so that the largest is 100. Ie: 100/max. There will be rounding errors, for sure, but no clipping. And, again, I dont use replay gain. Maybe to keep the purity, but really just so I have a use for the remote other than 'skip'. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30898 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
