Ahh, that may explain it. You may have hit the key! When I was initially playing with it and it was "working" was with fixed volume turned off. That's when I noticed that dramatic difference when switching during playback. I think later my tests with fixed on and off, when the volume slider wasn't changing, I wasn't restarting the song. I think my initial perception of it "working" was not ReplayGain's effect at all, but some other randomly changing volume slider issue. I'll go back and try again this evening with re-selecting the song from the home->Music menu after changing the setting and see if there's a perceived difference. I THINK I tried replaying the track...but maybe I'll try it by going back to the Home menu and selecting the song again to make sure it's really doing it. Of course the audiophile in me always dreads the potential "quality loss" from RG...but I figure the kind of detail loss possible from a flat gain adjustment to a digital signal at 24-bit precision probably can't compare to the loss that always happens even in 6" analog cables and preamp tubes! And the way it will spare my ears (this is being used in a headphone setup) to allow me to hear ANY detail in 10 years time will be worth the potential subtle loss of microdynamics ;) > > Worth checking your Touch Settings menu to make sure that the setting > is being applied there, since it is at that end that any gain is > applied. When you say checking the Touch Settings menu to make sure it's being applied, where do you mean to check? On the Settings->Audio->Volume Adjust menu where it was originally set? The setting does hold there, as well as on the server side's Settings->Player->(this player)->Audio Settings menu. If not those, you'll have to guide me to the right place :) I'll be getting a second Touch to compare with as well. I really really like the first one. I'm moving from an iPod Touch running iPeng (SqueezePlayer) on a Pure i-20 dock. The Pure is really nice with the iPod solution, but the big, readable screen, nicer remote, and lack of the cruddy Apple async USB interface with all the clicks and pops in the audio is a nice change :) And in both cases I prefer SqueezeCenter to DLNA. It has so many more music-oriented features. And I don't have to worry about losing my music station when the battery dies ;) Thanks, your replies so far may have really isolated everything I needed to know to figure it out! It may well be that my idea that it's "broken" was based on a combination of me misinterpreting whatever odd volume slider adjustment I had without "fixed volume" on as being the effect of ReplayGain, plus my looking for gain changes when switching without changing tracks. Your info that it definitely works with fixed volume, and that it doesn't immediately change gain when playing may be the keys I needed! And I'm really glad it works with "fixed volume."
