It's both the player and the server who have to support it. The server generates replay gain values which then have to be used by the player. I can only speak for iPeng but I believe it will be similar for SqueezePlayer: there are two ways to control volume on a phone player: you can modify the actual audio data (that's what the Squeezebox does and where the replay gain values usually come in) and you can change the devices' system volume. Now, the problem is, that what you want to do on a phone is to use the system volume. There are three reasons: 1. When in a dock, some docks them can use analog volume control so you gain some quality. Some phones also might do the actual volume control in the analog domain. 2. The system volume has hard-wired control through buttons and the phone UI. You can't turn that off (at least on iOS), so if you do not use it, you end up using TWO volume controls that multiply in effect and you effectively lost capabilities as remote volume control 3. Doing your own volume leveling in the digital domain will increase the CPU load and power consumption.
There are ways to get around it, but it's work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
