Like the options says: there is no effect on the volume. In other

So if this is "No Volume Adjustment," what is the effect on playback
volume?
I can play most m4a's made by iTunes (from CD) at 100% when my receiver
is connected directly to the amp.
Some CD's (Live at SXSW by Thomas Dolby and the Jazz Mafia Horns) are
really loud and drive the amp to protect.

Clive, I hope I understand your reasoning. As I understand it, this
means that with an album peak level of 0.9, the positive gain will be
at most 0.92, even if the RG of the album is +3. It is an extra
explanation (besides the ones I already gave) why RG settings will not
always have the desired r

Could you please explain this a bit?.
The reason is: I have lots of classical recordings from digital radio.
They were originally mp2 with a very low loudness.
So I converted them t

Agreed, almost all pop/rock albums of the last decade have negative
replay gain, so a 100% volume setting won't make any difference. But in

It does seem that most (95% I'd say) of my replaygain adjustments are
NEGATIVE. So 100% volume wouldn't be an issue for these.

Thanks Teus. I couldn't ask for a clearer response. I'm really surprised
I haven't seen this discussed before. Everything I've read previously
pointed to having Squeezebox volume left at 100%. I've set mine for 95%
and will see how it goes. Thanks again.

Yes, that is correct. If the

Stefan,

I normally see eye-to-eye with Phil on most things, but I strongly
disagree with this statement. When using RG it is perfectly OK to use
the SB's digital volume control as well.
Think of it this way: you ha
It does affect the sound quality, but so little that it should be
totally inaudible. It just adjusts the volume in digital domain and
causes noise in the lowest bit(s), but that is below the hearing
threshold.
When you tested, did you compare with identical sound levels? The
louder always sounds

Hi there!
I have a Squeezebox Classic and most of my music is in flac format. All
these files have the ReplayGain-Tag. As far as I know ReplayGain is just
a tag and does NOT affect the music data itself. So when listening to my
music and applying ReplayGain I was a bit surprised and sort of
