Mark, thanks for all your help. Your messages are clear and precise. I've got everything working except the part where MP3Tag talks to MP3Gain -- i get a command line window message saying something like "r can not read r." I think i'm mis-entering your command string.
Anyway, that is not my main problem. Weird things are still happening. I took a test file and used your process to strip the ID3v1 tags from it. MP3Tag says there are only ID3v2.3 tags in it. Slimserver, however reports a volume adjustment vlaue of -14.97! Then i used foobar to put a specific value (+2) in the Track Gain tag. MP3Tag confirmed that there was now a APEV2 tag also in the file. i rescanned with slimserver -- and it says the volume adjustment value is -5! this file has NEVER been brought into iTunes (although the original from which it was copied was). ARGH! My next test is to rip a file from a CD and see what i get with it. Any ideas are VERY welcome... -- eschurr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eschurr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2007 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28152 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
