Hey,
I have an issue here. First, I'm using an iPod photo and analyzed mp3 files. My earphones are Shure e3c (canalphone). Therefor I don't want the volume to be very loud. Currently I use like 1/10 of the whole volume-slider. The music sound 'best' when the slider is in the last half of the slider.

So, as I have understood one will have to add (replay gain) when playing back analyzed tracks. My replay gain is -13.2 in MC. So I have to add about the same for the track not to suffer (i.e. lack of bass and so).
On the iPod I want to apply replay gain with 13 but then my iPod becomes too loud. So I use Adjust all file with something like -75%. It doesn't seem to work, however, since the iPod is still way to loud.

How should I do this?

Thanks for any info or tips.

PS: Steve, there is a mini-bug since you can chose -0,0dB in the Replay Gain scale  

edit: It seems as if negative volume doesn't work, since it gets really loud when adjusting it ...

edit2: It seems that if I put replay gain to be -8 or -9 or so the volume will fit me, but won't this have a negative effect on the sound?

Rasmus,

This whole system will be reworked soon to handle replay gain using the iPod 'Sound Adjustment' feature. At that point this will all be solved.

That sound way cool, Steve! While you are doing that I'll go back and study for my math exam tomorrow.

BTW: Did you see the PM I send you?

Regarding wikipod? Yes I replied to say thanks over the weekend. I am aware of it.

In case you didn't get it, thanks.  Good luck on the exam.
