I am trying to sync my collection of WMA Lossless files to my iPod using MC11.0.178(converting to VBR MP3).
I have setup a playlist in MC and put 2 files in it.
File A has replay Gain settign of -14.78
File B has replay Gain Settign of -4.95
Playing both WMA files via MC they sound a similar volume.
So I connect my iPod (freshly initialized with MC)
I right-clicked on my iPod and set the option under Upload Volume Adjustment for Replay Gain (leaving at 0db)
I selected the Playlist I wanted to Sync and clicked Transfer.
Both files get converted to MP3 and downloaded to the iPod.
Now when I play them on the iPod File B is MUCH quieter than file A.
I then ran MP3Gain to check the files on the iPod and file A has a volume of 97.9, while file B is 88.
Is there a problem with this function at the moment?
To test further I disabled the replay gain optin for the iPod and got exactly the same result.
Setting the volume adjustment ( with +50%)instead of the replay gain still transfers the files at the same volume as above.
I need to transfer all my files this weekend (5000 of them) and it takes almost 3 days, so I don't want to find I have to do it again if the volumes aren't set correctly after the transfer.
Another though was, could I use MP3Gain to adjust them once on the iPod without affecting my next Sync with MC?
Cheers
Richard
