I am trying to use the Replay Gain utility to normalize my music in iTunes (files are lossy aac in a .m4a container). The Replay Gain Utility says that it can write the iTunes tag but the volume values are not showing correctly in iTunes. For an example track, I get the values below from the dBPowerAmp utility:
Album Gain = +0.14 dB
Track Gain = -2.26 dB
ITUNNORM = 000003C7 000003C7 00000973 00000973 00024CA8 00024CA8 00007FFF 00007FFF 00024CA8 00024CA8
iTunes says the volume = -1.0 dB (ie when I import this track it is doing the sound check analysis)
Now I created an action within MP3Tag to write the ITUNNORM value based on the album gain value. It gives the following:
ITUNNORM = 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8 000003C8
iTunes says the volume = +0.1
Is it possible to get this bug in the Replay Gain utility fixed? I was hoping to batch convert my entire song library of 25,000+ to save me a ton of time and effort and now that does not look like that will work.
