I played around with this to verify what was going on. A couple of interesting discoveries: - you can undo both gain changes and track analysis - if you "clear analysis", this does NOT remove the APEv2 tags although MP3Gain won't see the analysis anymore - to remove the APEv2 tags, you must select "remove tags from files" (by right-clicking) - normally, when you use the Track/Album Gain button, it adjusts the files' volume AND writes the tags, meaning you'd be double-adjusting if you had SlimServer's Volume Adjustment on - to get it to do what Aguida states (adjusting gain without writing tags) you select Options - Tags - Ignore (do not read or write tags). This is dangerous - the program warns you that any gain changes you make after this cannot be undone, i.e. you can never get back to the original MP3. It also reminds you with a "NO UNDO" notice at the upper right of the window. I verified this with MP3Gain 1.2.5 and Mp3tag 2.37a. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33656 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
