Hi,
Just wanted to jump in with a quick question: I use a program called MP3Gain to level out all my mp3 files, which I like because it tags it and it can be easily undone if I want to. I've been using it for years, so maybe it's just outdated or something. I used to be into the technical stuff more than I am now, so maybe I'm just behind. lol. But anyway, it has always worked just fine for me... on the hard drive, all my music is level already (well, within a range of 1.5 dB). If I play the files on my computer, on any media player, or if I burn a disc of any type, it always plays nice and level. Even playing on other Android media players, I've never had to adjust my volume between songs. But playing on MMA, I notice major differences in volumes. Now, I didn't have all of the volumes analyzed in MMW, which I'm now in the process of doing... and I see the volumes displayed there are covering a wide range... not even close to level. So, my question is, does MediaMonkey just ignore the tags and volume adjustments made by MP3Gain? I mean, they still sound the same volume when I'm PLAYING them on MMW, but when they're analyzed, they display... I dunno, I guess it's the original volume maybe? Anyway, I LOVE MediaMonkey, so I'm sticking with it, but is my MP3Gain going to be a waste of time now that I've just gotten hold of MMA as my primary portable player. Or is there a better volume leveler that will change the actual file, like MP3Gain does? I mean, I'd be happy to just let MMW analyze the volume and tag it, but does MediaMonkey just analyze the volume, so that IT knows how to play everything level, or does it actually change the file for the benefit of other players, too, like MP3Gain does? Because if it doesn't change the file, itself, then what if I burn a disc, or heaven forbid, have to play my music on some other program or app besides MMA... will they play level on some other player?
Anyway, quick note to you MediaMonkey guys, while I've got ya: you've made my life so much easier and better. MediaMonkey is awesome... there are a couple things which are not ABSOLUTELY perfect, but man it's like THIS><CLOSE! And that's what's awesome, because there's no way to please everybody 100%, but MM does so much right that it kinda shocks me when I run across something that isn't EXACTLY how I want it. lol. So, thanks very much.
