Thanks Geoff, I will give it a try. I am reencoding all files to a 128K mp3, 44100 sample rate stereo stream for consistency. So yes I have the decode and encode lines in the xml file as you outlined. I will check out sox and see how it does. I am also exploring mp3gain to run across the entire library and see if getting all files to the same level will help. Larry -----Original
