V6 doesn't. That's about all I can say.

OK, take one of your WAV files and save it to your desktop. Rename it.
Then add it back into your iTunes library. Check the properties, just
the name should be set. Now convert it to AIFF. Check with SS for
volume adjustment - sure as hell shouldn't be any.
Steve.
Importing a file doesn't do a conversion - at least it doesn't in iTunes
6. That setting is only used for ripping and the Convert to menu.
Kinda weird.

Hey something else just found with iTunes 7 (had to try it!) - album art
now gets imported and added to any file (in the iTunes database
supposedly not the file) - including WAV - but you can't drag and drop
art onto a WAV file! So iTunes can do it, but the user can't...:-(

Not sure if this is relevant, but i'll offer it up anyway.
I've been using MP3Gain with slimserver and an SB3 for quite a while
and LOVING how it keeps the songs at relatively the same volume.
However, i recently upgraded to slimserver 6.5 and now i'm getting
weird, huge volume adjusment

Didn't I read somewhere that SS 6.5 prioritises tags differently to
previous versions?

Hi Steve - this is what my EAC external compressor settings look like

%a -l %g -t %t -g %m -y %y -n %n -i %s -o %d - nothing in

now! Thats the problem with EAC
OK, I did some research and understand how iTunesEncode works now. Looks
like that was a dead end.
I don't see that you confirmed that iTunes Sound Check isn't set. It
isn't I assume?
And there's an Equalizer as well (bottom right hand side). That's
disabled as well?
Not that I would have
I just tried something similar - converted an AAC track to WAV and then
AIFF with iTunes 6. No replay gain showing in SS or dBPowerAmp.
Got me stumped...
What was the original source of your WAV files? Ripped with...?

They were ripped with EAC, to WAV and then iTunes via iTunesEncode -
just checked and haven't got EAC nomalise switched on - strange :-/

Normalization isn't recommended, and even if you did turn it on, it
doesn't write any tags because WAV can't be tagged. Instead it

I thought iTunesEncode wrote .M4A files? Or does leaving off the -o
cause it to just do the iTunes tagging?

Note you -still- don't have tags because AIFF doesn't support tags.
SlimServer is reading the tag information from the iTunes database.
If your iTunes database gets corrupted you will lose all this info.
I'm not sure how volume adjustment got in there, but you can disable

Huh. Well sorry for the incorrect info. I'll revise my post.
Still not entirely sure why you're not using a lossless, compressed
format like FLAC or ALAC.
