Replay Gain Fuze V1

<< < (3/3)

Avalon:
I agree.

I redid an album by undoing mp3gain changes and using foobar2000 to add the ReplayGain track tag.  Everything works perfectly; audio playback and %rg functions.

I will have to redo the files with foobar2000.

Thank you all for clearing this up for me.

Just telling foobar to rewrite the file tags as ID3v2 should fix this problem.

Avalon:
You are correct.  I tried this and it works perfectly!

foobar2000 also provides ReplayGain tagging for other formats other than mp3.

This has been extremely helpful!

Thank you

Avalon,
I did some testing with this, you can't just RG scan the modified files with foobar without removing mp3gain first.

I downloaded mp3gain from sourceforge.   I applied mp3gain to a test album,  foobar still saw the existing RG tags that were already there, even though the gain had been changed by mp3gain,  then i rescanned with foobar and it calculated gains near 0 for all the tracks (since the gain had been modified by mp3gain).   To get the proper RG values I had to remove the mp3gain with that app, then rescan with foobar2000 as you did in your test.

If you are going to rescan, i'd recommend removing the changes that mp3gain made first!  (click modify gain, undo gain changes).   Otherwise all your subsequent replaygain scanning will turn up gains near 0, not much point in that.  Also beware that if you replaygain scan it and THEN remove the mp3gain changes afterwards,  the replaygain tags will be wrong!(since the volume level was changed after the RG scan).

Also note, if you're using ANY players that do not have replay gain support, you'll lose the volume changes that you're probably used to.

so, you have to commit to mp3gain or replaygain,  can't have both

Avalon:
Good points!

I'll keep them in mind.

It is convenient to have ReplayGain and the original settings selectable in RockBox, so I will rework the files as you suggest.

I originally looked at this for a theme I was working on.  The theme now works with the %rg function in wps.

Thks again!
