Re: [Fwd: Re: [Bug-gnupod] SoundCheck/ReplayGain]

Hi Chris,

Might be a problem with size but I don't know. I don't have access to the
mailing list administration interface. :-(

If you "apply" replay gain before handling it over to gnupod/iTunes you change
the whole game ...  you change the sound data.

gnupod and itunes don't realy look at the data. they only look at the meta
data (the tags). 

If you put such a modified file on the ipod and listen to it, you can't say
anymore if the change in volume is due to you changing the data or due to
the player paying attention to the meta data.

cheers
