You want to remove volume adjustment in itunes. This is more of a manual feature.
You need soundcheck (itunes way of doing what you want). 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. This allows songs played after each other to be of similar volume limiting the need for volume adjustment from track to track. Soundcheck values are set at a track level. Thus tracks from the same album may be adjusted differently by itunes. If you play the album songs after each other, relative volumes would have changed. So a soft part of your symphony may suddenly become louder compared to the rest (if it is in a different track). If you often listen to whole albums this may be problematic. SB server can then read soundcheck values and use them. 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. These tags are what everyone else uses to do what soundcheck does in itunes. 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. Thus when playing an album the relative loudness of tracks are kept the same. For SB3 to use replaygain or soundcheck you need to activate it under the audio settings for the player. If both soundcheck and replaygain info is present SB3 will ignore soundcheck. To do what you want I'd download foobar2000 and point it at my library. Then run it to set replaygain at by album tags. This will sort out SB3. To fix itunes you can activate soundcheck and get tags at a track level. There is also a way to take the album replaygain tags and covert them to soundcheck values. This way itunes will use these values and not it's own calculated values. I use foobar to set my replaygain values -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79349 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
