Hello!

I'm still working through some stuff w/ J River (loving this software!) and after figuring out how to run the analysis on 6000+ songs for replay gain, I don't want to go through it again.

Can someone please tell me where the replay gain information is stored in Windows 7 so that I can back it up?

I'm guessing C:\Users\My_User_Name_Here\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 16 but want to make sure I back up the appropriate files/folders.

Thanks!

Just back up your library (File/Library).  Best to do it to a different drive or PC.

Excellent.

I back up to an external USB hard drive that includes all my media so I have my data in two places at any given time.

Thanks!

From what I've seen with most formats as mp3 supports this. Replaygain information is stored as metatags for each audio file along-side Artist, Album etc.

Q: Where is replay gain info saved?

A: Replay gain info is stored in the library (aka database) and in the file tags when possible (if file tagging is not disabled).

Currently file tagging is possible with all internally decoded audio formats. For Wave and AIFF it must enabled in the plug-in manager options (http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/WAV_%26_AIFF_Tagging).

Naturally it would be best to back up both, i.e the library and the media files (which include the replay gain tags).

The library contains lots of stuff that is not stored in the file tags, for example: the playback statistics, import dates, all view customizations, playlists, auto-import configuration and recently also the actual options (which are set in Tools > Options...). Use File > Library > Back Up Library... to create a backup file. If you use more than one library you must back them up separately: load a library and back it up, then load the next library and back it up and so on.
