As @slartibartfast points out, replaygain tag info is not based on a relative loudness of *your* tracks. Rather, the values are based on a target value (e.g., 89db or -18 LUFS, etc.). And this works across different file types (mp3, FLAC, etc.). I like his hypothesis that you probably have files WITHOUT replaygain values, thus the need to reach for the volume control. Personally, I can't imagine playing my digital files without RG engaged. SmartGain is brilliant. It automatically uses ALBUM RG values if playing songs from the same album, but uses TRACK RG values if paying tracks from different albums. *Home:* Pi4B-8GB/pCP8.x/4TB>LMS 8.2.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* rPi4B-4GB/pCP8.x/4TB>LMS 8.2.x>Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (Radio WIFI) *Office:* Win10(64)>foobar2000 *The Wild: *rPi3B+/pCP7.x/4TB>LMS 8.1.x>hifiberry Dac+Pro (LMS & Squeezelite) *Controllers:* iPhone11 & iPadAir3 (iPeng), CONTROLLER, Material Skin, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win10(64) *Files:* -Ripping-: dBpoweramp > FLAC; -Post-rip-: mp3tag, PerfectTunes, TuneFusion; -Streaming:- Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116243 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
