similar to: Vorbis & ReplayGain

Hello all, I'm glad to announce to you that Vorbis now has full ReplayGain support. If you're not familiar with ReplayGain, take a look at www.replaygain.org. The main features are: a) all songs play back with equal loudness b) removes the need for normalization c) allows for clipping prevention Using it is very simple. Get a compatible decoder (ogg123, XMMS and WinAmp all support it

Hi, While testing ReplayGain (so it could be related to a bug), I noticed the following gain comments for a file: RG_PEAK=1.71580 RG_RADIO=-7.91 dB RG_AUDIOPHILE=-6.72 dB I've never seen such a large peak. Not that I've looked much, nor have I analyzed the file further. I just thought I should mention it. :) The file is the track Board Burner by Mixmaster Mike, available at:

This question is mainly directed at John Edwards, I believe. I'm attempting to use oggdec.exe in a batch conversion of ogg vorbis files for use on a portable player. I'm using the -o option to redirect output to the LAME encoder. So far so good. However, I also want to do volume leveling using the replaygain tags. If I specify track (radio) gain, everything works fine, however, when I

This new ReplayGain feature is cool, but made all my .mp3 and .mod files sound so loud, so I wrote a Winamp DSP plugin that: - If a file is playing that is not known, a ReplayGain value will be calculated while playing. - If a file is known, the ReplayGain value is applied. What that means is that my .mp3 files now sound as loud as my .oggs. I hacked this thing together very quick, so

Hey When playing an http ogg stream served by icecast, ogg123 (vorbis-tools-1.0.1) seems to detect replaygain metadata because it displays it in a nice way, but does ogg123 actually alter the playback volume according to the replaygain variables? I can notice no effect. I did some googling on this but didn't find much help. I discovered a vgplay patch for vorbis-tools 1.0.1 but after

Hi! I have a few questions about the log files icecast produces, plus I have a little issue with replaygain but lets start with the icecast log stuff: If a client (listener) connects to icecast at, say, 12:00, the connection time is stored in the access log about 15-30 minutes later (or on disconnection). Is it possible to get icecast to log client connections immediately with the correct

In this topic on Hydrogen Audio(http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=105586) someone asked a question about the sample rates that FLAC supports for ReplayGain. The outcome was that the current documentation of MetaFLAC is outdated since Commit http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=0554a4aee6966bc5b251364753ef85de72dfab19 because as of 1.3.0 FLAC supports Replaygain with many

Hi all, I started testing the RC1 encoder at ftp://sjeng.sourceforge.net/pub/sjeng/oggdrop.exe (based on branch_monty_20010708) On the songs I have tested so far (not much :) I did not hear any stereo issues, but there are some very noticeable problems with the produced files. Songs without much high-end will suddenly have one when encoded. (you'd expect it the other way around) It

Hi Martjn, and everyone, Apologies if I have missed the reply, but I think I have not got any comment so far on this. That means our new ID request is accepted? What should I do next to proceed??

I backed up my entire CD collection to Flac (350+) to avoid losing them to scratches, laser burns, etc. Now I'm wondering how RG affects the Wav file produced from Flac decompresion if I used the following command with CDex: -8 -V -T artist="%a" -T album="%b" -T title="%t" -T date="%y" -T tracknumber="%tn" -T genre="%g" --replay-gain

Hi, I think I might have kind of, sort of found a bug in opusenc. But do correct me if I am worng. :) When converting an FLAC file that contains RG tags written by bs1770gain the resulting opus file has a way, way too high RG value. I am talking >90dB(!). Here is the metaflac output of the flac file: % metaflac --block-number=2 --list bs.1770/test.flac METADATA block #2 type: 4

When a locale is in effect that does not use the point as the decimal mark (e.g., sv_SE or de_DE, which use a comma) and a ReplayGain tag is read for --apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless, the gain value was misinterpreted (e.g., "-2.29" truncated to "-2"). This is fixed by resetting the locale to "C" temporarily, based on Josh Coalson's fix of the dual case

I mention metaflac because there are a few shell scripts that use it to write RG tags in a flac music library on Linux. With support for Ebu R128 gain in metaflac (the calculation according to specification, not an external program) it would be easy to use, just change the cmd line for metaflac in the script. Now that metaflac supports sample rates higher than 48kHz this would be a good thing in

And thats only a player. What about an (Open Source) encoder? Nah, I'll stick with OGG for the time being.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this flac thing (started about a week ago) but I have read a lot about flac and replaygain. As far as I understand it, replaygain is lossless in the sense that I can tell my player to ignore the settings or I can even use foobar2000 to remove the tags entirely, hence getting back to the original audio. If that is the case, why is there a warning in the foobar2000
