No, SB doesn't do radio-style volume leveling (@radish: that's track gain, so that all the tracks have the same volume, just like on the radio). It reads RG tags and adjusts the volume accordingly.

What "it" doesn't calculate levels properly? What software have you used to calculate and write RG tags? Foobar2k does a good job of it, I think, as does Robin Bowes' apply_replaygain.pl script. So does the metaflac tool that is part of the FLAC package.

You would have to let it run overnight at least, but it's not as if it needs constant attention while it is calculating RG and writing the tags.

Gapless and crossfade are different - which do you want? Gapless works with FLAC and with MP3s encoded with recent versions of Lame. Other codecs or Lame versions won't give you gapless on an SB. There is no setting for gapless -- it depends entirely on the source material, so maybe it's really crossfade you're after? -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72031 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
