Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2003 11:49:06 -0500 MP3Gain doesn't re-encode the files, so that's not a problem. If you process the files using the "Album Gain" setting, the files are normalizes relative to the other tracks on the album, so you shouldn't lose the relative context. Also, MP3Gain is lossless, as it simply stores the volume data in the header...so it's reversible. Personally, I coulnd't live without MP3Gain. Granted, most of my tracks are rock, so there's a lot less quiet-loud dynamic to deal with. But when you consider how loud some CDs are mixed, it's a terrific tool. --Eriq. -----Original Message----- From: mrlipring [mailto:mrlipring_at_tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 11:10 AM To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: Re: unique, automatically loaded EQ for each song doesn't that involve reencoding though? either way, it involves changing the file itself. you can't listen to a song in a global playlist, normalised, then decide you want to listen to that album, with each song in its original volume context (can't think of the proper way to say that, but you get me). We need to be able to store something in an extended id3v2 tag that holds the normalisation info. Even if it involved running an external app over the files once, then rockbox reads this extra tag, that'd be excellent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Greenfield" <dgreenfield_at_taltrade.com> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 2:41 PM Subject: RE: unique, automatically loaded EQ for each song I use a program called MP3GAIN that adjusts mp3 files to a specified dB level. -----Original Message----- From: mrlipring [mailto:mrlipring_at_tiscali.co.uk] Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 8:41 PM To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: Re: unique, automatically loaded EQ for each song That arses up the natural feeling of listening to them as albums though. AND it'd take ages. AND you'd have to reencode them all, losing quality. Winamp does (did?) a thing where you can set an eq for each song, it's loaded from a database in the WA folder. Either doing it like that, or adding a custom id3v2 tag would work, i'd imagine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Ervin at home" <GlennErvin_at_cableone.net> To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 12:57 AM Subject: Re: unique, automatically loaded EQ for each song > Can't you use MusicMatch or a program like GoldWave and open all of the > files on the JBR and level the volume on all of the songs at once and > permanently? > Glenn. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "jb" <res0at31_at_verizon.net> > To: <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> > Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 2:36 AM > Subject: unique, automatically loaded EQ for each song > > > A while ago Björn Stenberg wrote that an upcoming feature would > automatically load a previously created .cfg file for each song. > This would allow individualized EQ's to automatically load for each > song, which for those who listen to songs from a million different > sources one after another, all recorded with different volume and > bass levels, is the Holy Grail. > > Is this automatically loading feature here yet? > > If not, any idea when? > > One important question: I would like to be able to just click on a > save .cfg file button after I've adjusted each song and limit > the .cfg file automatically to audio settings.
