ping: David Robinson re: ReplayGain support
|
that no players currently support replaygain.
|
Well that must be out of date. My Squeezebox system supports it, and I
use it all the time.
I use Foobar2000 to add replaygain to my media files, and so that is one
other media player that certainly uses it during playback.
Also I'm not sure but I think that recent versions of Winamp can adjust
playback according to replaygain information stored in media files.
So perhaps not all media players support it, but certainly some do.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, but I was *specifically* referring to personal MP3
players (such as iPods etc.), rather than PC based software players, or
streaming devices.

This is not true for players running the replacement firmware available at
page gives the game away:
As well as numerous models of iPod, iRiver etc., I can confirm that the
replacement firmware works superbly on a Toshiba GigaBeat F40 (although I
haven't applied or tested any gain tags yet).
For lovers of classical music (and this ng seems to have a few), it also
recently supports an extra bunch of ID3 tags allowing greater flexibility
in finding and searching for various pieces - not aware of any original
firmware on any player currently supporting this:

Could be nice to have a convenient portable MP3 player that supports it.
I don't know whether any exist yet.

Well, erm, yes.
That's the whole point of my original post; with Rockbox as
replacement firmware, many different makes of portable MP3 player *do*
magically support replaygain.
As a bonus, it also enables them to play OGG, FLAC, WMA etc. etc., even if
the original firmware didn't support these formats; allows players
that previously relied on specialised applications to appear as standard
removable drives and transfer using drag-and-drop; supports blind users
with speech synthesis; allows music to be selected and sorted using ID3
tags where previously only file-browsing was allowed, etc. etc. etc.
And it's free (in every sense).
