Analyze Volume and Level Track Volume Questions
Posted: Sat Sep 26, 2015 6:27 pm
Hi,
I am using MediaMonkey Gold version 4.1.7.1741 as my primary music player for all of my FLAC songs which use Vorbis tagging. I have been using MediaMonkey for a little over nine months now. I had asked some questions in the first couple months after I started using this player when this was new to me. Based on my experience, I just wanted to make sure that I understand two of the player's features correctly. Those features are the Analyze Volume and Level Track Volume controls. Please note that I am only using MediaMonkey and no add-ons.
I used a program called Tag Scanner to list all of my music and look at the dates modified for all the songs that I experimented with the Analyze Volume and Level Track Volume controls. When I applied the Analyze Volume control onto my selected songs, Tag Scanner listed the dates under the Date Modified column as later than the dates before I applied this feature. When I replaced the altered songs with original copies stored on my external hard, the previous dates under the Date Modified column were restored. When I attempted multiple times to apply the Level Track volume on my selected FLAC songs, Media Monkey said it could only apply this feaure if the songs were in MP3 format. Therefore the FLAC songs were unaltered due to the dates listed under Date Modified remaining the same both before and after my unsuccessful attempts.
With regard to the Analyze Volume control, my understanding is that this feature only places a command tag regarding the volume level for the track and/or album. What this does is tell either MediaMonkey or some other player or device with this feature to play back the track or tracks at the adjusted volume levels listed in the tag. If the player or device either has this feature disabled or does not have it, the tracks playback at their default volume levels. This feature does not alter the audio file itself, it just tells the player or device to adjust its volume settings to the specified levels listed in the track or album's tag.
The Level Track Volume control permanently modifies the source audio file or files. According to the player itself, it only works with MP3 files. If the file is not in MP3 format, the file will not be changed in anyway and will remain as it was before I attempted to change it with the Level Track Volume control.
Again, I just want to confirm that I understand the functions of these features on MediaMonkey correctly. I would appreciate it if you would point out out any errors to my understanding on these features.
Thanks.
