Spoon, SV8 isn't applying the Replay Gain tags at all now, either while ripping or converting from flac. Batch Converter won't apply RG after-the-fact, either.

Thanks.

You could use this codec and replace the mpcenc.dll in \musepack

Just wanted to LYK (belatedly) that this works - I was a bit confused at first because there was no .dll in that folder, it's an .exe. But I saved the folder from the SV7 install, installed the beta codec, and replaced the new folder with the old, and all seems well.

Thanks!

We will add both sv7 and sv8 encoders before release.

Re: Musepack (mpc) R8 (using SV8)

All mentions of SV7 are for this encoder (even though it is an sv8 encoder), you can still edit the replay gain values for sv7 files. The Issue with the existing sv7 decoder + encoder is that it will not display RG values if they are 0.0, they are added though.

OK, I still don't understand - does the SV8 (beta) encoder write SV7 files?

Or, let me ask it this way - if I want to write SV7 .mpc files, and have the RG tags properly written, what codecs should I be running?

Re: Musepack (mpc) R8 (using SV8)

Updated (allows the encoder to be used from the new BenchMark Tester)

Re: Musepack (mpc) R8 (using SV8)

I'm really sorry, with all due respect, I still am missing something. A previous post said

Replay Gain (SV7) now fixed, note this encoder will not write RG to sv8 files just yet.

So, if RG has been "fixed" for SV7 (the old codec), what exactly has changed if

The ReplayGain codec never caused any problems, the RG issues were with the SV8 codec (and saving the replaygain).

Besides, there WERE problems with SV7 and RG, which is what I believe started me down this road, as we discussed in this thread:

Can't add ReplayGain tags to some files

Not trying to be difficult...

Re: Musepack (mpc) R8 (using SV8)

Yes you need the old codec in codec central.

OK, I must be really dense - I'm running R12, and I already have the old SV7 codec, and the old RG codec - which doesn't work. So what exactly has changed?

I'm thinking there's a newer RG codec you're referring to, but the one on codec central is the old one. In fact, even though it says "Release 2" on the page, if you download it, the installer tells you it's "Release 1".

I'm confused, if I want to continue writing SV7 Musepack with the fixed RG, what should I be downloading and installing with R12? The SV7 codec is the same it's always been, as is the RG.
