According to this FAQ http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/faq.php
mp3gain is based on replaygain and thus equally reversible? It also states that ".. MP3Gain does not decode and re-encode the mp3 to change its volume. You can change the volume as many times as you want, and the mp3 will sound just as good (or just as bad!) as it did before you started. .." I was listening to a large playlist that mixes jazz guitar songs with some R&B ballads, and RG with SmartGain is not able to even remotely bridge the loudness gap between songs. At very moderate listening levels, several songs basically are muted. And no, none of these songs have ever undergone any type of treatment - they were ripped using dbPoweramp and others were downloaded from Amazon MP3. I am looking for a way to fix this in my collection. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: Shuttle X27D - Ubuntu 8.04LTS - SBS 7.4.1 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 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
