ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

Re: ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

Note that to just apply ReplayGain tags, you can use the [ReplayGain] utility codec.

I found it. Once installed it appears in the <convering to:> box in the converter.

Anyone have any tips about configuring mp3tag or tag&rename to display the field?

Thanks

Re: ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

go into mp3tag, right click on column headings, select customize columns and add:

%REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN%

as value for a new field you name album gain. Do the same thing replacing _ALBUM_ with _TRACK_ for track gain column.

Album gain does not seem to be applied when using the batch converter on a large batch of files (10-20K). All the track gain tags look good.

Re: ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

I've had this issue as well. I've seen other posts on same subject, but don't recall ever seeing an answer other than running the replaygain on smaller batches of files. One thing, it doesn't seem to do the album calc until the very end, so be sure and wait until the notification says everything is completely done. I think I've accidentally prematurely ended the process because it appears to be done at first glance, but not really....

Yea, album gain is calculated after the entire list is processed.

If you try to RG a huge number of files, it will take a long time after the track gain is calculated.

You have to wait for the finished button to ungrey.

Re: ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

Anyone who is having troubles with Album gain not being calculated on some files, install the beta 4 DSP effects here (leave the [Replay Gain] utility codec as is):

Let me know if this one fixes the issue please.

I've also had missing album gain when doing large amounts of albums in the past. My problem now is that it will not apply album gain during rips. It only will do track gain. Will it apply album gain during a rip or do I have a problem? I'm using dsp 4 and everything else is up to date. I've never been able to get album gain to work during the rip.

You're not alone, me neither. Can't find the post now but Spoon's said it's best dne post-rip via Music Convertor.

Shame, as it's another few clicks and I'm lazy :-)

I did find a post finally that stated that it won't at this time do album gain with the multi encoder, so that's our problem. So I'll keep doing the replay gain after. It would be nice to do in just one step though. :(

Re: ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

dsp V4 does not fix the issue of the Replaygain utility codec of running for hours on thousands of files and failing to consistently write album gains. Which means if I spend endless hours running batches of about 300 files or less, only then are album gains are created.

I monitored the %tmp% directory as suggested in another thread. Clearly no issue on ability to write to a tmp file or directory or disk space. Looks like Replaygain utility codec creates two or three temp files at the %tmp% level, and also creates a subdirectory that creates a temp file for each album selected for the utility code run plus one more temp file called "RPGainFNAlbummatch.tmp." Each album tmp file is about 47k in size.

Really want this issue resolved.

Re: ReplayGain Utility Codec - A couple of questions

As far as our testing, all issues are fixed with DSP v4.
