The term normalize usually implies that the audio data is changed to reflect the normalized sound. Replaygain, on the other hand, does not change the audio data. Rather, it writes gain adjustment values to the tags. You can have SlimServer process the Replaygain values, or have SlimServer

thanks your comments on my redgum :) I had a guy over at my house, he came with his car filled up with redgum amps starting from yours, the RGi120 up to the big mono blocks RG300m... I heared them all on my transporter through redgum then into my infinity kappa 8.1i I had two friends over at

Hey, truckfighters. Yeah, I can't say enough positives about my REDGUM. I've been extremely impressed with it. So much so that I sold off my YBA which is an exceptional integrated itself but a clear notch below the REDGUM. Like you I am in the process of auditioning speakers to pair with the

does anyone know of the australian high-end brand, REDGUM? has anyone heard one of these? I am really into buying just an REDGUM amp (RG120m) and use the analog out of the transporter... but I really would like to hear some opinions first, since they aren't real cheap. any comments
