This can be annoying if, for example, you are playing a random selection and you turn the volume up for a quiet track only to be blasted by a loud one following it. Some rippers and many music player/management tools (e.g. foobar2000) can analyse a track (and a whole album) and note its average and peak loudness. The results can be stored in tags on the file. If you have Volume adjustment set to off on the SB it will ignore these tags (but have no effect on the volume controls). You can, however, set Volume Adjustment to "track" which means that the volume of the playing track is adjusted up or down based on its replay gain tags so that everything has the same average volume. You can also set this to album (uses the album tag but relative volume of tracks from the same album is maintained) or "smart" which will guess whether you are playing individual tracks (and use track gain) or tracks from an album if there are a number from the same album consecutively (and use album gain).
Hope that makes some sense. -- smc2911 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43479 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
