Alas, I'm pretty sure my Zen Touch doesn't support Ogg; nor do the
Sleek or Vision as far as I can tell.

Thanks; it wasn't clear to me that the link on dBpA's site was a plugin
- I wasn't certain that I wouldn't be trampling over one codec with
another. (This is from a guy who once managed to install Acrobat 5 on
top of Acrobat 7 through one misplaced click on an installation CD...)

I'd still like to be able to set the normalisation level, if only to
match earlier settings used in CDEx.  (Of course, I could decode FLAC
to WAV then recode to (normalised) WMA in CDEx; but then I'd probably
lose all the tag info... unless I can find a way to extract and
"re-use" the tags...)

Hmm. Maybe it's possible to normalise (a copy of) the FLAC files, then
transcode that?

I wonder if the general converter mentioned in another thread here will
do normalisation? I suspect not, for there's no mention on the forge
page.
