Hello everyone!
I have been having a hard time finding a solution to my problem of sorting music from both Youtube music and Bandcamp. I have tried Picard and while it is good I have had problems with it. For example it has made songs shorter (they now end to soon.). So far the only solution I have found is to use Picard and manually review every song I own, and since I have thousands of songs It would take quite long.
I’m using Jellyfin with Finamp to play my music, and sometimes add lyrics via the Jellyfin app when they are missing.
How have you people solved this or similar issues? Does someone have a automated setup that works well?
Why not use ReplayGain tags to capture the normalisation information and let your player adjust non-destructively? Of course I don’t care if you do it by actually re-normalising – they’re your files. Just curious!
Depending on what device/software/etc. you use, your player might not be able to read that normalization info. For that reason alone, I still use mp3gain to actually modify my files, I don’t have to worry about whether or not the player will use the replaygain info, or not.
That feature didn’t exist when I started and I haven’t bothered to change it yet. Since this also needs support on all clients, it’s somewhat less portable than my solution.
Edit: Reason 2 I’m not sure how different clients handle the dynamic adjustments
