WMA volume leveling TAG

[DaveH]

I have previously ripped my CD collection using WMP11 into WMA_Lossless. I think WMP11 automatically adds volume levling data to the TAG.

I have since had to convert the WMA_Lossless into WMA9.2_Lossy (as I have a SONOS system which does not support WMA_Lossless).

If I am right, dbPowerAmp shows the volume leveling TAG data is present in the WMA_Lossless files by using the phrase "Normalization Values".

However, this is NOT shown for the WMA9.2_Lossy files?

What I would like to know is:

1) How do I know if my WMA file definately has the "volume levelling" TAG present? [I think it's called "WM/WMADRCAverageReference"]

2) How can I edit/delete the value? I want to experiment as to whether it makes a difference on my SONOS system.

3) Why does the data appear to be deleted when going from WMA_Lossless to WMA_Lossy?

Re: WMA volume leveling TAG

Volume values are saved as AverageLevel and PeakValue.

dBpoweramp will not allow the editing of any volume normlize values.

We will not copy these values across when encoding to WMA Lossy (as the values would change).
