anyone here use Replay Gain?
I just recently learned what that "Replaygain" option in Rockbox does and I was wondering if anyone here uses it. I have programs that do volume leveling on my computer and would love to try it on my H10, but before I dump 2000 unleveled tracks for my now leveled ones, I'd love to hear some listeners opinions on the feature. I have music that spans almost 4 decades so volume is all over the place so is the effect noticeable? Also, does it significantly drain the battery life?
Thanks for your help.

Works just fine, especially good when the play list, consisting classical to electronic mixes, is randomised. I foobar2k'ed it.

Works well. On my H320, it seems to about about 1-2% more to the CPU usage.
I actually miss it when I accidentally put some new tracks on there which I have forgotten to level...

Sweet. Had foobar sitting on the sidelines ready to do a days work on my collection based on your responses. Guess it will. I was mainly concerned about killing Rockbox's already poor bat life on the H10.
THANKS FOR THE REPLIES! and to crypt, that is the reason I started looking into it. The volume difference is huge when jumping from something like a new NIN song to an original CD release of Rush's Freewill! (Rush is the greatest prog/rock band on the planet, by the way) Last edited by wiggin0105 : June 26th, 2007 at 11:18 PM. Reason: to better respond to help without leaving another post

Well I don't have an H10, but I do use Replaygain. Both on the PC using foobar2000 and using Rockbox on both the H160 and X5. I haven't noticed an increase in CPU usage with it in use, but if there is it's probably negligible. Not having volume go everywhere between albums/tracks is nice and also keeps the lossy audio from clipping upon decode usually.
And yes, wiggin0105, Rush is very good stuff

Well I used it for (um, how long has this post been up?) and loved it so much that I had to apply the album gain to my files permanently with foobar2000. One day I was jamming to some mp3 cds in my car and the volume jumped from one album to another so I just had to give my car audio the same treatment as my portable. Only took about an hour to re-encode all 10gigs of my music using foobar2000 so it wasn't too bad.
And no, DreamTactix291, Rush is not very good stuff, it is the best stuff!
