Having bought and iPod and a Squeezebox, I ripped all my CD's using Apple Lossless. I was unaware that the recording level varied as much as it does and would like to even out the playback. I could follow the three steps above and accomplish my mission (I don't want to compromise the lossless encoding in addition to the gain adjustments)I suppose. My question is, do I need to re-rip to implement Replaygain or can I use the Apple Lossless files (which would seem to be implementing steps 2&3 above)? Thanks, SteveA I have 500+ CD's done so reripping would be a PITA -- SteveA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SteveA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5931 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29495 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
