Thanks everybody - I think this thread inspired me to look more closely at how I was using easyMP3gain (the only Linux alternative I know for MP3 myself, and my FLACs have no such issues) and after using the *analyze* feature alone, playing with it, it seems a couple of the problem albums now are more alive.
I will actually educate myself far more on the topic and volunteer documentation help to the open source community. There is a lot of info out there, and forums like these full of helpful people, however there does not seem to be a tutorial that puts it all together. For now - many thanks everybody! I am listening to a playlist right now that sounds far more "alive". My reservation is still about the reversible nature of playing with MP3 tags (which I think are 100% reversible), but not knowing enough about the audio information modifications that were mentioned in this thread and deemed irreversible I have mixed feelings about MP3gain... I will keep using the "analyze" feature alone, which as was mentioned in this topic and I have verified in another source, only writes to tags and thus is 100% reversible (I should strongly hope). -- pablolie ...pablo Server: Shuttle X27D - Ubuntu 8.04LTS - SBS 7.4.1 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72031 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
