I'm in the midst of semi-isolation after knee surgery, in my comfortable basement, now officially designated a man-cave. I've been listening to music, including albums and playlists, from my extensive collection. I've been getting annoyed at the differing volume levels, and have decided to implement ReplayGain across the collection. I have several questions which I'm sure have been answered here a zillion times, but I'm begging indulgence as I'm sure I'd have to do multiple searches to find answers to them all.
I'm a total noob when it comes to RG, even though I've been doing the SB thing for many years.
My questions:
What are the best tools for implementing RG? I have and have used Foobar and dBpoweramp for other purposes.
What is the general procedure for adding RG tags to files?
How is reading RG tags implemented in LMS? That is, how do I turn on RG in LMS?
I'd like to implement RG on both the collection and album bases. Is this supported in LMS?
In the case of playlists within LMS, my assumption is that the collection-wide RG tags are used, rather than treating the playlist as an album. The latter would be good if it's something LMS does.
Will implementing RG across multiple formats work within a single collection,using SB devices as players? I have a mix of flac, mp3, m4a and wma (lossless) files. I'm most concerned about the m4a and wma files. I don't want to have to convert my legacy wma files to flac, too much trouble.
How long is it likely to take to process a whole bunch of files, probably 40k or so?
Anything else I should know?
Ron
