I have been struggling with this issue myself recently. This is what I
have discovered, and how I have worked around the problem.
Summary

them in the MP3 tag field: COMMENT ITUNNORM. (In my case these were

According to resolved bug 3207
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3207) SlimServer will use
the manual slider in preference to Sound Check.

I know about that. In fact it is what I've had to resort to. What is
meant here is the ability to turn off the soundcheck gain, but keep the
separate "slider" gain turned on.

I wish SlimServer had the built in option to apply replay gain on the server.
That way SliMP3 and Squeezebox1 would have replay gain functionality at
the expense of some server overhead. I have been using jsutula's
"Smart Gain" hack with success for some time now. It was available at

Thanks KDF - I can see that on my SB2 - but it's not an option on my
SB1. Does the SB1 ignore replay gain?
That's correct. Only SB2 or newer has the ability as it is part of
the firmware.

Ahem. Talk about trying to make something more difficult than it needs
to be...
The Mp3Tag tool (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) allows you to point it at
the top level of your music folder and will scan all subfolders and
list all files.
You can then use the Extended Tag editor (Alt + T) to remove th
Seems I've been throwing you several red-herring. But I think I made
some progress last night.
According to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61655 -
depending on the file format, iTunes sometimes stores the normalisation
information in the XML and sometimes directly in the file tags
I'll look into these things a bit more deeply, but here are a few
observations I made.
1. When I look at the iTunes Music Library.xml file, the only tracks
that have a volume adjustment tag are those for which I have made
volume adjustments using the slider. This implies that the other

Hmm - I've checked the latest iTunes SDK and that's the only Volume
related value they've documented.
If you can post a snippet of the Itunes XML file for affected files I'm
happy to look again.
Alternatively there's the worst case option to delete your iTunes
database and reimport all your mus
Thank you for a very informative post!
Unfortunately, when I run the second script, it only clears out the
manual volume adjustments set by the slider bar. When I reimport, the
decibel adjustments apparently made by the sound check action are still
there.

No warranty given or implied - this is a (potentially painful)
destructive process on your iTunes library...
Here's some JavaScript to parse your iTunes library and dispaly tracks
with a VolumeAdjustment (SoundCheck) value:
Code:
var ITTrackKindFile = 1;
var i
According to the documentation on Sound Check at Apple's site, iTunes
does indeed leave the volume adjustment info in place - it just ignores
it when Sound Check is switched off. Makes it pretty tough on other
applications.
I don't know if you can use, say, foobar200 to strip this info out. I'm

I don't use itunes but I understand that slimserver reads the itunes xml
file and uses that data to populate its own database. This means you
need to force a (clear &) rescan in slimserver to make the changes
visible.
