Title: Problems with replay gain saving
Post by: shelly on June 16, 2002, 07:30:33 pm

In the present build, replay gain analysis needs to be run twice before the changes are saved.  I need to run the anaysis, close properties, reopen them, run the analysis a 2nd time.  Now the changes will stick and replay gain anlaysis displays 'done' when opened a third time.  Can anyone else duplicate this?

Hi Shelly,

No, here it works as advertized.
Select files, open proprieties, analyze, close

If I reselect and re-open proprieties and re-analyze, first of all I see the previously analyzed values for Radio Gain and Peak Level in the replay gain panel, and if a re-analyze the files are skipped since I have the "Skip analyzed files" checkbox enabled

Claudio,

Would you please try to perform an analysis, change a value in a custom field, close properties.  I just ran the analysis on several files.  Those I closed without changing any other information, indicated 'done' in the status column when reopened.  However, those that I changed the value in one of the custom fields, displayed 'queued' in the status column when reopened.  Thanks

Shelly

I just performed a search on the saving of replay gain and found the following post from RemyJ on 6/8, which duplicates what I'm experiencing:
_______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________

Finally finished ripping my library (~10,500 tracks) and have been analyzing replay gain in batches of 800-1000. After the first few batches, I started setting the CUSTOM1 field to "GAINED" so I'd remember where I left off.
Tonight I'm browsing through my library and playing with some DSP settings and I realize that most of the songs I'm listening to show "Replay Gain (for current track)" as 0.0 when I KNOW I analyzed them before. It turns out that all 8000 tracks I analyzed and set the CUSTOM1 field on never saved their gain settings.

So after a little experimentation I found that...

As each track is analyzed, the proper tags are written to the file.
When the analyze dialog is dismissed, you're left with the properties dialog BUT...
the cached track info in the properties dialog isn't updated with the new gain settings SO...
If you then modify a field and save, you actually rewrite the tags with OLD gain value which in my case was always 0.0 since the tracks were just ripped. Sigh.

Hi Shelly,

Good find! Yes I get the same behaviour. I'll have to remember doing all the tag editing before I analyze, until this is fixed.

Thanks, Claudio.  Jim or Matt, can this be fixed in next release, please?

Thanks for all the details.

This will be fixed shortly in a maintenance release to 8.0.

Thanks again and sorry for the hassles.
