i understand what you are saying, but while i sometimes have that happen, i find using album RG in that scenario worse far more often, as in the 'speak to me' example above. (it would depend on the amount of variation or to put it another way, volatility in your collection between a tracks two RG values) also, what you are saying is basically a subjective approach, rather than an academic philosophical approach, but for you, that only makes sense of course, (and i certainly wouldn't begrudge you it)... however, its not really objectively defensible. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbrec & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.4b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87061 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
