http://www.replaygain.org/ sort of explains but then doesn't. Without having access to the CD or the waveform just telling me it's +3.4 doesn't mean it's going to clip, load it up in a sound editor, make a test decode (keep the orignal as this does actually write a changed file) with a --apply-repaly-gain-which-is-not-lossess option and examine that file.
I don't like the fact it's webpage still says a "Propsed Standard" but anyhow if it's ReplayGain is set to a value that clips then the Squeezebox would be a pretty poor implementation of ReplayGain if it didn't clip like it was told too. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org is the place to go for questions like this. I think the idea of ReplayGain is much more suited to someone who listens more to rock/pop/dance music etc... where some super-compressed modern rock record makes a earlier one sound lower. If you mostly listenig to Classical and are aware of things such as Dynamic Gain and louder does not mean better then just because it's there it doesn't mean you have to use it. Anyhow, it's your ears and your music - it's only a switch so try it out for a while, nothing gets changed. -- Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=213 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17960 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
