Quite right, if you're listening to tracks that contain a mixture of loud and quiet passages. But when I'm listening to my "summer rock" list in the car, the volume diffs between tracks are much more noticeable than any changes within each track. Since I do use my iPod in quieter environments occasionally, I'd really prefer not to have to normalise or compress the audio files themselves, but to be able to do either or both dynamically. I could use SoundCheck for dynamic normalisation, but I've had big problems with that in the past, and would probably have to recalculate the ITUNNORM tags for almost everything on the iPod (and it's 80GB, and pretty much full...) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50190 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
