Although i use mp3tag (for unified tagging) and foobar (add RG, verify tracks) before an album finally finds its way into my library i hesitate doing library wide changes with these programs. This is probably a personal thing but i "feel" i have a closer control doing such changes myself with a few lines of perl/shellscript code + metaflac (which doesn't update the timestamp if instructed). Took me about 10minutes to fix the library with my specific requirements/algorithms. IMHO the justification for album-rg gets less with lower values. I propably don't hear the difference with -0.05dB album-rg, but the risk of reduced quality and a few saved CPU cycles (KISS principle) outweights this little convenience of an exactly leveled output. On the other hand i really like and use the album-rg feature for all those discs/compilations with high values (e.g. -9dB) kind regards, Markus -- schiegl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ schiegl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6654 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47555 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
