I didn´t get it running on my QNAP, so I decided to go a more pragmatic way by using foobar2000 and scan replaygain over my connected PC. That will cause me two full days of server and PC running , but I don´t think that the slow QNAP alone would have been faster scaning a 15k flac collection.

Very interesting subject. Would someone be kind enough to give me some step-by-step instructions as to how to install and run the script? I've downloaded the file and opened it. There are two folders in the file. That's as far as I can get. I'm a Mac OSX user. Thanks in advance. -- avta

It's worth noting that a lot of people (myself included) find that even when playing random, individual tracks, album gain is the best setting to use. Track gain makes the loudest point of each track equal. This means that the loudest part of e.g an acoustic guitar track will be the same as the

Hi, I downloaded applyreplaygain and flac on my QNAP´s public folder and now I don´t know how to go on, because there is no standard possibility to install something on the server. Only a web UI to do settings or change/move/delete files. I did try to do something with putty (first time and how

Not to hijack this thread, but I'm interested in doing this as well and have a couple of questions. First, can someone provide a link to the applyreplaygain.pl script? I couldn't find it on robinbowes.com, as suggested. I couldn't find it anywhere on slimdevices.com (wiki, plugins, etc.). I

soxfan- Won't answer all your questions, but I'll try to answer a few: Don't know how to find the script listed... but there are other methods for setting the REPLAYGAIN tags - I did mine using mp3tag, which you should be able to find on the net via a google search. In squeezecenter, you can

Thanks for the replies. I was missing the _ between apply and replaygain and that was messing up my searches. Should have mentioned that my music files are on a Linux system. Yes, I know that the programs mentioned reportedly work with Wine, and that I could setup a Samba share and access my

Fortunately this has already been thought out for you. 1) download and run Robin Bowes' APPLYREPLAYGAIN.PL script 2) change SC settings (player - audio) to allow volume adjustment - SmartGain 3) full rescan 4) Enjoy That really is it. Everything you want to do is now done. -- Phil Leigh You

Thanks a lot! That was, what I also badly was looking for. The adjusting of volume track by track is very annoying. These 9.9kB would be a nice plugin (or even standard option) to SC. I will try it this evening, hoping to be clever enough to get it work. -- rossi CD Ripstation Micro
