I realize this is an old thread but I came across it looking for information on relpay gain. I was trying to find an explanation of why even with my entire collection of music converted to FLAC and with replay gain applied (both album and track replay gain) I still notice variations in perceived loudness when playing random tracks (with replay gain disabled in sqeezeboz variations are much worse so I know it's working). This last post about setting maximum volume to less than 100% to allow for positive replay gain values makes a lot of sense if the concept is correct. For example, I have a ripped cd with album gain of +1.33db (I realize 1.33 db is negligible but for example purposes). If I have my volume set at 100%, then there is no room to increase by the 1.33 db? Is this logic correct? On the same cd with +1.33 db album gain, I have a track with +5.6 db of track gain. Would this track gain of +5.6 db have to be added to the current volume to play back at same comparative volume as other replay gained tracks? So in effect I would need to have my squeezebox fixed volume at no more than 94.4% (100 -5.6)to get the proper result of the replay gain values on playback of this track? Obviously I don't have much of an understanding of how exactly replay gain is applied but this idea of positive replay gain values not being able to be applied if volume is set at 100% could be the explanation for the loudness variations I'm noticing. Thanks, Bill
