Could you send me a small sample mp3 from this stage in your process? Preferably something short and under creative commons license. (try http://www.freesound.org/ if you need samples) The CVS version will probably do the whole process for you. It will not generate an iTunNORM comment though, but use the replay_track_gain directly to generate the soundcheck attribute. It is however not widely tested yet. > mktunes picks up the SoundCheck data correctly; I can see the value in > the iTunesDB file, but the iPod doesn't seem to see it, because the > volume doesn't get adjusted. Are you sure that the soundcheck value is in the itunesDB? Did you check the iTunesDB with hexdump or did you look at the GNUtunesDB.xml? > iTunes as well reads the SoundCheck value I added correctly because when > I plug and unplug it with iTunes without changing anything, > iTunes recreates the iTunesBD file (with my own SoundCheck value) and > now the volume gets adjusted correctly. Maybe iTunes reads your iTunNORM comment and accepts some deviation that gnupod does not? E.g. gunpod insists on finding a space in front of the first hex number group in the iTunNORM comment. cheers -henrik _______________________________________________ Bug-gnupod mailing list Bug-gnupod@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnupod
