As others have said, Replaygain is calculated to an absolute target value, not relative to your other files. Having to adjust the volume may indeed point to some tracks missing tags, but I personally have another case in my library as well: some MP3's from back when I began this digital music journey (late 90's, early 2000's) were "normalized" through Windows Media Player, and unfortunately that wasn't done through tags but directly in the audio data itself. They're such a minor part of the collection though, that I've never bothered to do anything about it (also due to lazyness, all cd's have been boxed and stored for at least 15 years now ;) ) Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004 + TMA Premium 905 + TMA Premium 901 + Teufel Ultima 20 Mk 2 + BK Monolith+ FF + Lenovo T460 + Kodi + Pioneer PDP-LX5090H Workshop: iPad 32GB Wifi + Squeezepad (local playback activated) Wherever needed: Acer Iconia Tab A700 + Squeezeplayer Kitchen: iPhone 5s + iPeng (local playback activated) + NAD 312 + Teufel Ultima 20 Mk 2 Headphone (cozy corner): Lenovo T550 + Squeezelite-X + Cyrus Soundkey + Topping A30 + Focal Elear Car: TBC ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116243 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
