If I was to guess, I'd say this was discussed on this forum a bit. The original RG standard was 83 dB reference loudness. The "new" RG standard is 89 dB. On programs like MP3Gain, you can set the reference loudness to whatever you like. However the RG algorithm built into the FLAC encoder is fixed at 89 dB. Josh Coalson, the FLAC developer, is a member of this forum and I believe he responded to that thread saying he was planning on making the reference loudness adjustable. This could be what he was referring to. I would say it could be adjusted with metaflac but I haven't looked into it yet. Theoretically you could adjust it with any program capable of reading arbitrary tags like Mp3tag, but I would think the RG tags would have to be rewritten at the same time if you adjust this? Or perhaps this means that the RG values were generated using reference loudness "X", if the decoder is using reference loudness "Y", add "Z" to the RG values - in which case the decoder would need to be updated, meaning it won't work with Slim Devices products until a firmware update. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31757 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
