Display Replaygain Album Tags – anomalies

[PhilE]

Thanks for the advice, simbun.

Before I change MinimServer's content directory to point to one of my problem albums and use the writeAllTags option to create a log of all the tags MinimServer reads…

I noticed that the RG album value for all my FLAC downloads is displayed correctly. I added RG (both Album and Track) tags to them with DBpoweramp. The same goes for files/albums ripped from CDs using DBpoweramp.

The problem albums are the ones ripped from CD before I got DBpoweramp.

Some were originally ripped with iTunes to AIFF. I subsequently converted these to FLAC using XLD encoder with RG scanning switched on. The others are CD rips using XLD encoder, also with RG scanning switched on.

XLD adds RG Track and RG Track Peak values but NOT an RG Album value. It makes sense then that no RG album value is being displayed.

When I used DBpoweramp ID tag converter on the 2 single disc albums that I referred to (both were CDs ripped with XLD) I had it set to apply both Album and Track RG.

What I’m going to try instead is deleting the XLD-derived RG Track and RG Track Peak values and then using DBpoweramp ID tag converter to add Album and Track RG values. I may also try leaving the XLD-derived RG Track and RG Track Peak values in place and only adding an RG Album value with DBpoweramp ID tag converter. Logically, I can’t see why I should end up with an RG Album value being displayed with either approach but I’ll give it a go.
