My trial version expired though JRiver will be my DVD and BD movie player when I get my Sony OLED TV this year.
And I may use it for music listening.
Sadly, many of my favorite vintage recordings were deliberately hit with excessive dynamic range compression applied almost routinely during mastering sessions to prevent mistrackings on cheap vinyl players, to extend storage space on vinyl LPs and CDs and/or to allow higher signal levels to compete in the loudness wars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war#History. Consequently, somewhat depending on which speakers used, they sound flat-literally, since the natural dynamic peaks along with all the levels of all different sounds in the recording were limited and/or squeezed to one level.
Still, I'd like to have an accurate number or reliable estimate of the dynamic range of CD tracks from commercial CDs that I had ripped to uncompressed WAV files.
Searching [ How to measure the Dynamic Range of recordings ], I found this thread
https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/how-to-measure-the-dynamic-range-of-recordings.4059/Luckybaer there said JRiver has an "Analyze Audio" function that can measure dynamic range.
I would be interested in user experiences with this apparently simple tool, especially for evaluating pop, jazz and soundtrack recordings from 1960s.
