Want to set RG tags but NOT convert files

[paulr]

Hi all. I have a library of FLAC files which currently don't have any RG tags applied. I'd like to run 'batch conversion' to apply the relevant DSP settings. I'm ok with that.
However, I dont want to covert any of the files, I simply want to analyse the volume and add the RG tags.
1, is this possible?
2, if so, how?
Any tips/info appreciated.

Use batch Converter, select the whole library (first folder) >> Convert

Choose the encoder as [ReplayGain]

Thank you Spoon, my converter shows the following options:


The RG settings are in the DSP Effects/Actions section (see below).

Which version do you use? Looks like an older an.

I'm on 14.4 of the converter, you're probably right about the version. The version I have has done what I needed for converting file formats and CD ripping - I bought it when I first got into ripping CD's to my NAS - possibly 10+ years ago.....
I've downloaded the 2025 trial (not yet installed) - should I give this a go? And obviously upgrade if it does what I need.

Hey Paul,

give it a go. A lot of things have changed since the release of R14. I.e. the online databases for the metadata and their interfaces have changed.

Thanks Dat, having problems uninstalling the old version.....I've posted on another thread which deals with exactly the issue I have.
