And not without 'any' solution, considering I can manually edit values with foobar. ;) This simply isn't the easiest way, but the albums that need further adjustment are not that numerous.
BTW, having lowered the tag values by 2dB (results from MP3Gain in the first place) for one particular CD with foobar, I reloaded the files in MP3Gain, analysed again, and the funny thing is it understood the new values, but somehow believing they were its own results, it showed a new 'initial volume' 2dB higher than the real one. It obviously considered that, the analysis being already done, given the new tag values AND the fixed reference level, the raw track level must have been louder. I hadn't a chance yet to try if SS indeed plays the songs at lower volume, but this should work allright, its calculation being 'real raw level' minus 'new tag gain value'. Quite a boring reply, but writing this down does confort my point of view and ease my mind!

Well, having quite a large library, and wanting to keep it very portable (with a bit of lazyness to rescan the whole dam' dusty bunch o'CDs on top of that), I'll stick to my (224 to 360) mp3 files. Untill the Day has come, who knows.

Is that not also true for mp3 files being only tagged with analysis values, the gain not being 'applied' ?

OK, so anyway altering this ref value alone wouldn't do the trick either. Thanks anyway to you all for helping my global understanding of these concepts ! -- Stan Pulsar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stan Pulsar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20746 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
