You do realise the latest version of dbPoweramp has Variable Bit Rate Quality: -V4 and with the codec installed the menu software gives 3 separate options as follows: I should convert the flac files over to mp3 format and apply DSP ReplayGain and apply normalisation? This gets confusing and stops me taking what appears to be a logical progression to solving my problem. Given the above information, is it not enough to to just apply the ReplayGain values to the whole of the directory of flac files and output to a new mp3 directory that I will use to import into the car?ĭo I still have to apply the volume Normalisation as well? It has more options as follows: Write Calculated Track Gain to Source File RG ReplayGain (Apply) with options as follows: You do realise the latest version of dbPoweramp using ReplayGain has Variable Bit Rate Quality: -V4 and with the codec installed the menu software gives 3 separate options as follows: I should convert the flac files over to mp3 format and apply DSP ReplayGain and apply normalisation together? This makes all tracks sound approximately the same volume. Use RG Track Gain for your volume normalization. Your car player doesn't likely read ReplayGain tags, but the apply volume normalization will change the audio of your mp3 files to incorporate the RG adjustment. In this conversion, add DSP affects for Replay Gain and Volume Normalization. Convert your FLAC files to mp3 for use in the car, while keeping the FLAC files for other uses (I'd convert to mp3 lame -v2 for use in car, mostly tranparent lossy for most music).

Install the ReplayGain DSP from dbpa Codec Central.

If it helps, my house PC is using Windows 7 x 64 bit Professional. I hope it is not too complicated for a pensioner and I wish to put as many of my files as I can onto the car's Hard Drive without too much quality loss. I would be most grateful for any advice provided. So, how do I ensure they are all at the same volume level for play back in the car? I understand this is called normalising! Also I have seen something about ReplayGain or similar wording. I need to ensure all my music plays back at the same volume. Naturally I will be keeping my flac files for other conversions as I consider these as my master files and do not want to rip all my cds again. Which is the best format to convert the flac files to for solely importing into the car? I was thinking of using a variable bit rate and. Just recently I have ripped all my CDs to flac and have them all stored on a external HD. The car's menu handbook says it plays back compressed audio files: mp3, wma, aac, m4a, m4b,ogg. This causes a lot of grief and as I understand it, is a common problem. The problem I have is that these imported mp3 files and albums imported from the CD player, all play back at different volume levels. It works fine.Īlso the car has a CD/DVD player and the car's Professional Media Centre gives me the option of importing CDs and DVDs of various formats onto the Hard Drive whilst they are playing. This is one way of importing music and playing it back. I have put these files onto a USB drive and imported them into the car's Hard Drive as described by the handbook and allowed in the car menu system. I have some old music files stored in mp3 format that I ripped years ago. I have a later BMW 3 series and it has a 20gb hard drive in the Professional Media Centre for storing and playing back music in compressed format. I am having a problem digesting everything and putting it into practice. Please forgive me, but I am completely new to all this.
