Replay Gain not Working

Issue description

Replay gain doesn’t seem to be working. I have selected the replay gain option but the volumes of songs is different and needs constant changing.

I have tried following other threads but I’m still having issues. I’ve tried using replay gain with other media plays such as Musicolet and that was working correctly.

Device type

Phone

Media provider

Local device

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select replay gain to “Track”
  2. Replay gain normalisation selected to “-23 LUFS”
  3. Start playback.

Additional information

I have tried tagging the mp3 files per the screenshot, I may have done it incorrect but I am not sure.

…an aptly chosen name.

Sorry, had to make the joke. But you can’t just add “RG Me Plz” in the track’s comment and expect the app to take over. :laughing: It doesn’t work that way, it’s not a simple toggle.

To get it to work, you need a tag field called REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN and in that field should be a numerical value that tells the app how to adjust the volume.

Here’s what my tags look like for a random track:

There’s four relevant fields. (Sorry for it being cut off, this app is ancient.) Track Gain, Track Peak, Album Gain, Album Peak.

The values are not something you guess or figure by hand. Look for a software like rsgain and run it on your files to generate these for your library.
