Re: [slim] iTunes Track Volume
Music that has been ripped with iTunes contains a tag called iTunNorm which is handled by SS but often seems to result in a dramatic volume reduction. I assume this tag is present in purchased music as well, but can't easily check because I've stripped it from my library. Instead of adjusting, burning and reripping your purchased music you could try stripping the DRM from it with QTFairUse6: http://www.hymn-project.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1553 and then use a tagger such as mp3tag to remove any iTunNorm tag you may find.

No idea - thanks for the link - I've tried this Hymn project stuff before and could never get it to work (still can't - it just makes an error beep when I run it) :-? Look's like I'll just have to source my music from CD and use my workaround for the odd iTunes purchase. I have never understood Apple's attitude on DRM - it just annoys people and wastes their time whilst offering very little additional protection.

Re: [slim] iTunes Track Volume
Which version of which stripper are you running?

Re: [slim] iTunes Track Volume
Now you're asking! I downloaded a zip file: QTFairUse6-2.5.zip and ran that - no result. Have also seen a product called Tunebite MP3 (http://www.tunebite.com/en/tunebite/index.html?affiliate=1a08f4ebe7e2be602256412ed41ed96f) which seems to do the same thing (someone recommended this to me) do you know if it is any good?

Re: [slim] iTunes Track Volume
That version of QTFU6 is the best one to use. You should try posting on the Hymn project forum. Someone there will probably be able to help. Tunebite is basically the same as burning and re-ripping, just faster. It's sampling an already lossy compression so you lose more audio quality.
