As I am an Apple household, I rip to ALAC. I have a question relating to iTunes handling of Replaygain.
With ReplayGain tags you can tick both Track 'AND' Album. But with iTunes Normalisation it is either Track 'OR' Album.
Why the difference? What is the general consensus?...

HDCD not ripping at higher resolution.
I am trying to rip Dixie Chicks - Home
CD Ripper is not recognising the disc as HDCD. The cover art has the HDCD logo. Also online databases list the disc as HDCD.
Is there a way to see that the disc is actually a HDCD, with the TOC HDCD flag missing? Or is the disc just a regular... -

Hello,
I just ripped many Audio CDs with dBpoweramp CD Ripper and my customer is reviewing his ALAC files using a Mark Levinson and seeing bitrates of 944 kbps and 906 kbps. Isn't the default for ALAC 1,411 kbps? If so, why weren't the audio tracks ripped at the higher rate? See the 2... -

ALAC 16bit vs. 24bit – Reversed waveform polarity
I came across this problem while converting hi-res *.wav tracks into 24/48 ALAC files. This is what I found: encoding an audio file into ALAC 24bit results in a reversed waveform polarity, which comes back to normal once converted back to *.wav, *.flac or even ALAC 16bit. I have been experimenting with... -
Replay Gain settings/iTunes Normalization
I've searched through the forum's and help guides but I didn't really find an answer to my ReplayGain (not RP apply) setting questions. I do CD ripping for clients and I've started to think it would be a good idea to include RG tags just in case their media player of choice can read and use them. I...
