OK, I figured out what I did (and all this assumes your album name and artist tags are correct): 1. First, load up all NON compilation albums, select all, right click, apply RG as albums (by tags), then let it run. 2. for compilations: open foobar2000, select preferences > advanced > tools, and click to expand replaygain scanner. The first item is "album grouping pattern". It is probably something like %albumartist% %date% %album%. Edit this so that it is ONLY %album%. Then load up ONLY your compilation albums in foobar2000. select all tracks, right click, select replaygain, then "scan selections as albums by tags" This will treat any album that has the same name as an album and apply appropriate RG values. Be a bit careful. If you have two compilation albums called "A Tribute" then it will think they are ONE album. You might then want to change back the options to the original options on album grouping. The use of artist or album artist in the grouping is useful for making sure that multiple albums called "Greatest Hits" don't get treated as a single album (i.e., it uses the artist info to know they are separate). -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93126 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
