Multi Encoder with ReplayGain not Adding Album Gain Tags

[ljohnston]

Hi,

Just started using dBpoweramp, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or user error, but I'm having issues with the Multi Encoder writing album gain tags using the ReplayGain DSP. The same setup NOT using Multi Encoder writes the album tags just fine.

I'm on OS X Sierra running dBpoweramp 16.2 (1).

Here's what I did:

1) Setup a profile to rip to Apple AAC; added the ReplayGain DSP specifying "Track & Album Gain". This does include album gain tags as expected.
2) Setup a profile to rip to Multi Encoder; added an Apple AAC encoder; added the ReplayGain DSP to the Apple AAC encoder, specifying "Track & Album Gain". This does NOT write album tags.

In both of the above cases the track gain tags do get written as expected.

As a follow-on test, I used the Batch Converter to convert the files that got written without the album gain tags, using the same Apple AAC encoder / ReplayGain DSP configuration as the other tests and the converted files did have the album gain tags.

Any help much appreciated!

We will test this and get back to you.

Thanks... ETA?

We have tested and it is a limitation of the Multi-encoder, it cannot write album tags.

Will that be addressed or will that always be a limitation?

I am not 100% certain it can be.

That's unfortunate... was the killer feature that convinced me to go with dBpoweramp.
