    ReplayGain and Album ID Tags

    I have a few albums of music on my computer in WMA 9.2 Lossless format. Some of these albums have a semicolon in the album name, and some don't. When converting the albums containing the semicolon, the ReplayGain DSP effect doesn't write any album gain or peak information -- only the track info gets written. When removing the semicolon from the original files, the ReplayGain DSP effect works fine. (I'm converting to MP3 Lame, and in the ReplayGain DSP effect I enable the "Calculate Track Gain" and "Calculate Album Gain," with the album identified with "Album ID Tag.")

    I also tried using the ReplayGain utility codec on the WMA files, and the same problem seems to exist with it as well. When the semicolon exists, no album gain or peak info is written. Without the semicolon, the album info is written.

    I'm using dbPowerAmp Reference 12.1, with the most current versions of codecs and DSP effects, which I just downloaded anew before running the tests. I'm also running Win XP Pro.

    P.S.
    I'm not using any other DSP effect in my tests.

    Sounds like this might be a bug.

    If you run the "Volume Normalize" DSP and pick the "ReplayGain" option, does the file get altered?

      I will note it as a bug to look at.

        Thanks for checking into it, Spoon.

        I just discovered that the same problem exists with double-quote marks (") The problem does not exist when I change it to the single-quote mark: (')

          Spoon,

          Have you had a chance to look into this yet? For now, I'm having to resort to either renaming albums or converting/calculating Replay Gain values in batches (with one album per batch).

          BTW, LtData, the Replay Gain option in the Volume Normalize DSP does work.

          Thanks again,

          John

            I will try to release a beta of small fixes to the dsps, just have a few major things to get out of the way first.
