SB would read these values and ignore itunes values.
Once you've done this, you'd need to rescan.
You have to select the option gary says to get album gain values right. I would select one or two albums first for you to get a feel of how it works.

I love foobar2000, but it is not intuitive to the new user.Yes this is how to do it. It might be more user friendly in terms of initial interface. I'm told that winamp will also add replaygain tags. You might want to add the component "facets" to make it easier to navigate around foobar. I had a few issues with compilations, but I just went back and did those separately after the fact. Right click, select replaygain menu item, then probably "scan selection as albums (by tags)" Again, make sure you have your album tags done correctly. No, setup music library, then select all songs into the playlist window. This way itunes will use these values and not it's own calculated values. There is also a way to take the album replaygain tags and covert them to soundcheck values. To fix itunes you can activate soundcheck and get tags at a track level. Then run it to set replaygain at by album tags.

To do what you want I'd download foobar2000 and point it at my library. If both soundcheck and replaygain info is present SB3 will ignore soundcheck. Thus when playing an album the relative loudness of tracks are kept as originally intended.įor SB3 to use replaygain or soundcheck you need to activate it under the audio settings for the player. SB server will then use album gain (which is set across an album) when playing an album and it will use track gain when playing a mix of tracks from different albums. These tags are what everyone else uses to do what soundcheck does in itunes. However if you use something like foobar2000 to set your replaygain tags in each music file, then it stores an albumgain and track gain value. SB server can read soundcheck values and use them but will have the same issue when playing tracks from a single album. If you often listen to whole albums this may be problematic. So a soft part of your symphony may suddenly become louder compared to the rest (if it is in a different track). If you play the album songs after each other, relative volumes would have changed. Thus tracks from the same album may be adjusted differently by itunes. Soundcheck values are set at a track level. This allows songs played after each other to be of similar volume limiting the need for volume adjustment from track to track. Soundcheck adds a tag to each itunes song letting itunes know how to adjust the volume of the song to make it sound at an average volume. You need soundcheck (itunes way of doing what you want). You want to remove volume adjustment in itunes. The last attachment shows the tags reported by the mp3TAG utility. As you will see there is a mass of strange characters above the RVAD value - not sure where these are coming from. I have attached two screenshots of the Song Info screens. However, the song plays at its original volume via SBS! Viewing Tags shows an RVAD value of -13.944212. After rescanning in SBS the Song Info shows a Volume Adjustment of -13.81dB. Sure enough the track is barely audible when played via iTunes.Ģ. In iTunes I turned the Volume Adjustment down to -80%. Consider the following test performed on a track called "India" from an album "Flying Carpet":ġ. However, there appear to be some anomolies here. xml file, it appears not to affect the final volume produced by SBS. Whilst this appears to store entries in the iTunes Library file, including the. I have used the Volume Adjustment option of iTunes (via the "Get Info"> Options tab). However my understanding is that will kill the large dynamic range inherent in much classical music. My first intention was to use iTunes' Sound Check function. My music collection is a very broad mix, containing everything from classical to hard rock. I have spent hours reading comments on this and other forums but I remain very confused.Ī) iTunes 9 library stored on a ReadyNAS NVXī) Squeezebox Server 7.5 runs on the ReadyNAS, using iTunes integration, and "Album Gain".ĭ) I also run a UPnP server on the ReadyNAS, using the same music library, to serve a PURE Avanti radio/media player. Could anyone please provide a guide to how best adjust for volume differentials between between albums when those albums have all been ripped using iTunes?
