Replay Gain: A how to informational

First of all, when importing things into windows media player (which is what I use to sync my fuze) there’s an option there to “apply volume leveling labels to all files.” Isn’t that exactly what I’m looking for? Why do I have to use media monkey?

@ mmike. “Song” means it will use the track gain values instead of the album gain values. You’d select “Song” normally only if playing mixes and playlists etc. Listening to albums with “Song” selected can give weird results - which is what I should get with my After Forever example. The fact I don’t get a weird result is what indicates an issue with the Fuze in that example.

 

If I understood this correctly, then why should you get weird results when playing albums on “song” mode? Wouldn’t that just make all the songs on the album the same level? Usually they already are pretty much on the same level so you don’t really need it, but why would you get a weird result?
