Hi all, Just caught up with this discussion I started some time ago. My, how time gets away from you!!!
Anyway, for some strange reason, over the Easter break I had the strange compulsion to apply ReplayGain tags to all 95000 MP3s I own, for the purpose of playing them in Squeezecentre without having too much of a volume shift. Recently, I have just been playing a random mix stream from the server via FooBar2000 on my media center PC, but of course it lacks the front end functionality that SoftSqueeze has, and if I need to skip a track in a hurry (like if the kids are around and swearing turns up in a song) I have to run to the server and skip the track, which can take up to 30 seconds to appear on Foobar. So it's ok, but not ideal. So I succumbed and went to RG, as applied in Foobar. Now, as far as I can tell, there is no real straight-forward documentation that I have found that tells me exactly what all the settings for RG are and how to apply them in FooBar, so I took the plunge anyway. During testing today, I found that "Loose Booty" by Funkadelic was set to -8db and barely audible, "Breed" by Nirvana was set to -13db and was drawfed in sound by "Watch The Sunrise" by Big Star, the 12-string acoustics in the song could almost be heard 2 streets away from here. It just doesn't work. Yes I'm having another bad experience with it. Is there a clear, straight-forward way to get this to work???Lots of people say it's perfect. So what am I not doing? All I did was "Remove ReplayGain tags" to start with, and then "Scan per-track", then rescanned the entire library again in Squeezeserver (incidentally that last step in itself took 7 hours!!!) Thanx so far for all your collective feedback. -- Jippers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jippers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31599 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72031 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
