foobar, like SlimServer, is free, so go ahead and try it out. MrSinatra;183801 Wrote: > can i automate foobar to do my whole collection at once?
Just load the whole collection in, select all (through Edit - Select All, or click on the first, shift+click on the last), right-click, ReplayGain. There are a series of options to choose from. > can i make it so that it will only deal with RG tags, and not affect any > other tags in any other way? Yes. > and will it write into ID3 tags, or will it create ape tags which i > don't want? I believe it writes RG into ID3 tags. Why don't you want APE tags? They work fine in SS. > and also what button do i use to simply add the RG tags? The only buttons in foobar are for playback. > and which button do i avoid so as not to change the audiofile itself in > anyway? foobar does not alter the audio in any way when calculating ReplayGain. It has a lot of functions and if you dig really deep it may have a normalization function which may alter the audio, but you'd have to really look for it. You could not alter the audio by accident, and I may be wrong that it can alter the audio at all. You're thinking of MP3Gain. > am i right in thinking that if i do this, SS will affect gain on the fly > on playback to the reference 89db level? Yes. All RG calculations are done at the 89 dB level. In MP3Gain you can alter the 89 dB reference, but everything else uses 89 and you can't adjust it. > and is there anyway to configure EAC/Lame 3.9x to write the track values > into the ID3 tag at the time of ripping?

LAME does RG in its own non-standard way. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32178 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
