Re: Tag for ReplayGain
How do I implement that utility? I don't see a choice on the Convert screen.

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
Install the utility codec 'id tag update' then convert all the files to this, the replaygain tags would be saved to their correct location.Leave a comment:

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
Converting with RG DSP added "regain_track_peak", which shows in dBpoweramp. But there still is not a tag that I can see.
I found a file viewer (FileTagSleuth) that at least shows "replaygain_track_gain" as a user-defined tag, but after converting, it does not show "replaygain_track_peak".
I guess I really need some help with MP3Tag to show these tags.

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
Rescan with dBpoweramp (dbpa)? Have I missed something? All I see is "Convert To" or "Edit ID-Tag".
If you mean the %REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN% tag, then yes, nothing shows in foobar or in MP3Tag. Whatever dbpa is seeing, is likely in a TXXX user-defined tag added by Mediamonkey.

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
what happens if you rescan these for RG tags with foobar2000 or dbpa? Does it write new (correct) tags. And perhaps those tags are used by RG compliant players and the rogue tags are ignored?Leave a comment:

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
I sure wish there was a way to view a tagged MP3 file and see all the tags, as they really are. How about something like "view tags" for normal use, then a "view advanced tags" for all full list of supported ID3 tags, and a "view really advanced tags" for a full list of all tags in the file. Any editing would be confirmed by a "Do you really, really want to edit this" dialogue box.

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
Maybe I could use a hex editor like Notepad++ to see if maybe I can edit it that way. I don't mind having a ReplayGain tag and value set, it's just that some of mine are set at +15dB, or -15dB. I want to clear them all and use something like a foobar2000 ReplayGain script or plug-in to reset them.
On the MP3Tag forum, someone suggested selecting the files, then remove (red-x) all the tags, then undo the "remove" action. Apparently, MP3Tag will only add back the tags it supports.

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
A bit more research finds that Mediamonkey (which I uninstalled) stored the "replaygain_track_gain" (volume leveling) data in a generic TXXX tag. But MP3Tag does not see the TXXX tag. I assume dBpoweramp is reading that TXXX tag (TXXX="replaygain_track_gain 2.20 dB") and displaying the value. If the data was in the standard %REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN% tag, then MP3tag would see it.
Yet another reason for software to use standardized tags, instead of reading a file's metadata, and twiddling the data to make it user friendly ("Oh, this is what you really mean."), or to keep you using their software due to "user-defined" TXXX tags.
It appears that the only way to remove this non-standard ReplayGain data is to use dBpoweramp on each folder's files, but I have over 1,000 folders <sigh>. At least I'll only have to do it once (I hope).

Re: Tag for ReplayGain
mp3 can embed this value into the mp3 stream, it is not an editable tag.Leave a comment:

Tag for ReplayGain
Over the years, my music files have resided on four different computers (Mac and PC), and the MP3 tags are pretty messed up, especially the ReplayGain tag. I'm trying to clear the tag, and have been successful by using MP3Tag, with a custom column and tag panel entry for %REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN%, and its associated PEAK and ALBUM/GAIN, ALBUM/PEAK tags.
But after clearing the tags in MP3Tag, a check with dBpoweramp still shows a value in "replaygain_track_gain". Why is it that dBpoweramp sees the data, but MP3Tag does not?
