I do think care needs to be taken as some software gives the option of actually adjusting the levels in the file?
I don't recommend that option, but watch out for it. It is a permanent change that it would seem rare that someone would want (at least in this day and age). I suspect it was more useful before RG tags became more widely supported. For instance, I use MediaMonkey, and it gives options for applying levels not just analyzing/tagging. Anyway, I just mention it so that anyone new to the process applies a little caution. Now in terms of processing 24k+ files, I probably wouldn't do it all at once. I would test it out on a few albums to start with and investigate how it works; understand what the process is. I know most of us that have done this know what it is, but it's worth understanding. I would then process on larger batches of files in a method you can keep track of. I had about 15k tracks at the time I did it, and my computer would hang up on trying to queue up more than 1,500 tracks. Of course that was 10+ years ago, but I think a lot of software get hung up with a large queue, and if you get a crash, it can be hard to figure out how far along your process got. It ended up being a little easier to just go through 10 to 50 albums at a time and know exactly where I was at. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110369 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
