I have by now added 700 albums and have 13 000 tracks in my collection, all ripped and stored in Wav. files.
I have tagged them succeful. When comparing the size of an untagged file and a tagged the size of the files differ.
How is the tag stored? Does the tag interfere with the sound or are the tag stored and read in a way that don't
change the sound of the file, just curious.
How can I use Replay Gain to analyse my 13 000 tracks the easiest way now that they are ripped? I would like
to use replay gain when listening to a play list but still I don't want to alter my files. How does Replay Gain work?
Is it possible to use replay Gain as I described?
Thanks
Blue Boy

You could probably learn about WAV tagging by doing an Internet search. It doesn't affect the sound.

Okey thank you for your answer, what about my other question about reply gain is there a way to analyze all my files in one go, and is there a way to just use reply gain when listen to my play list but want my files to remain unaltered.

Replay gain is just a value in the tags, the file itself isn't altered.
You can go to your audio library, select all files (ctrl-a), right click and do library tools->analyze audio.
On 13,000 tracks it's going to take a LONG time. You might want to try it on a subset of your library, like by artist or some such.
Once the file has been analyzed, it will be skipped over if you analyze it a second time.

Thank's Bob,
Well I think that I start with analyzing the files that are in the playlists just to play them at the same level. I problem to me audiowise is that many of todays
releases are heavy compressed so to mix one song from a recent album togheter with something that was released in the mid 90 gives two different sounds, but
I guess we have to live with that....
