I added ReplayGain to all my files using Foobar2000. Did a fresh install of Slimserver 6.2 and the latest Softsqueeze. I could see ReplayGain in Softsqueeze. Removed ReplayGain from all my files upgraded to Slimserver 6.2.1 and I can't see ReplayGain in Softsqueeze anymore. Do I need to add

You need to add it. SlimServer does not add info to your files, it just reads what is already there. Max bernt Wrote: I added ReplayGain to all my files using Foobar2000. Did a fresh install of Slimserver 6.2 and the latest Softsqueeze. I could see ReplayGain in Softsqueeze. Removed

I wanted to experiement with the new replaingain settings using my softsqueeze (the one included in 6.2 slimserver) but I can't find a replaigain setting under the player's audio setting. I guess I need to wait for the next release of softsqueeze? -- WildCoder

In that case, I guess the need to have a replaygain only when shuffling option is far less pressing. Nevertheless, it would probably be a good option to have to keep the audiophiles happy. Should I file an RFE? Max dean Wrote: On Sep 16, 2005, at 2:46 PM, max.spicer wrote: So, does

It's simply a convenience thing. Not having to potentially have to reach for the volume control every time a new track is played in shuffle mode could be considered a sufficient advantage to outweigh a potential loss in sound quality. However, when listening to albums, you should only have to

When I received my Squeezebox in Sept. 2004, I was thrilled with the product but a little dismayed to discover that it provided no sort of output normalization functionality. Imagine my excitement then to see that this feature, filed as a bug in Dec. of 2003, has finally been implemented. Upon

Squeezebox1 continues to be supported. The way to implement this on Squeezebox1 is by pre-compensating the main volume level. It's technically possible (within the capabilities of the decoder's volume control), but that code hasn't been written yet. Would love to see a patch, now that

jth Wrote: Max - what's wrong with using album gain when listening to full albums? Since replaygain is done digitally, to reduce the volume of the music, it needs to truncate bits. If this truncation is done after it's been bit-extended to 24 bits, then it might not result in any information
