Seems wma volume level tags aren't easily understandable so...
What about actual replaygain tags? Could they be used when
transcoding? DBPoweramp will create replaygain tags in wma lossless
files just like flac.

RG tags should already be used whether transcoding or not. Does this
not work? I'll look at supporting WM-specific tags too.

Didn't know that and no sorry I hadn't tried because until recently I
didn't have an easy method to apply the tags to existing files. Spoon

Do you have a need to keep the files in WMA lossless? Couldn't your need
be met by simply converting the files to FLAC?
Sometimes the best way to solve a problem is to avoid it to begin with,
but maybe not possible in your case.

Andy the RG tags are working when transcoding. RG is a better solution
then Microsoft levelling tags.

A dedicated server (be it junk or new built) has another advantage.
It's a very stable environment once running you don't install to much
other junk on it. So it will not for example crash due to an illegal

I know there was some discussion in regards to this back in 2006.
Someone actually put in a request asking for this enhancement and it
sounded like something that could possible be implemented in the
trancoding.
Just wondering if it has it been added?
Thanks,
