emalvick... You beat me to it. :) I wonder if it would be better for these ad-hoc compilation albums if you only applied track gain, rather than also adding album gain. The tracks weren't mastered to be released together, so their loudness levels could easily be all over the place. Using SmartGain, where album gain is applied when playing tracks from the same album back-to-back, could result in some too high or low output levels, I would think. You might be better off only using track gain, which you'd accomplish by either not adding album gain or else by copying the track gain values to the album gain tags.
Stated differently, these ad-hoc albums are really just playlists in disguise. You'd never have album gain values applied when playing a playlist unless the adjacent tracks were actually from the same 'real' album release. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 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
