The jumpers are only for the unbalanced connection. > So granted, the VU meters are for effect, but the volume of internet > radio from the TP is annoyingly louder than the volume of FLAC or MP3 > tracks. Known "bug" (well, not really Logitech's fault), vote for http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431 > Do we in this forum know what MP3Gain does exactly It uses the ReplayGain algorithm.

The CLI clearly shows several decimal places and any software that can read APEv2 tags (including SS/SC) will show several decimal places. If you write the tags with the GUI, it will still be several decimal places but the GUI will round up/down to the nearest 0.5 dB. Not sure why. > I seem to remember reading somewhere that it uses a different method of > setting tags. It uses APEv2 tags.

Only if you set the gain will it actually modify the files' volume. If you just carry out analysis, it will only write tags. > Foobar2000 only adds the four new tags but only has an effect with > players that look for those tags. True. I believe foobar also writes tags in a more conventional ID3v2.x format. But I still prefer MP3Gain and since foobar doesn't work in Linux I'll stick with it. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43195 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
