So if anyone knows of a good way to normalize track gain in an iTunes library that consists of a combination of burned songs and iTunes-purchased songs, I'd really appreciate it. I've tried programs that apply the replaygain algorithm to the Sound Check values (such as MP3tag, BeaTunes, and iVolume) without any luck.

And I do have Sound Check checked in Itunes and on my iPhone. Easily find typos or different spellings of artists' names, automatically fill in the album artist names, and much more. I've used Sound Check alone and the results haven't been satisfactory (if it does anything at all). beaTunes' powerful inspection feature lets you clean up your iTunes track data in a way unrivaled by any other software on the market today. Download BeaTunes for Mac to analyze your music collection, fix your metadata, and build playlists. I mostly play songs on my iPhone using my car stereo. BeaTunes has had 5 updates within the past 6 months. I like to play my music in playlists that I've made, not album by album, and the differences in song volume leads to me having to adjust the volume knob all the time. I have songs from basically 2 different sources in my iTunes library: songs burned from CDs and songs purchased from iTunes. I am looking for a way to normalize the volume of my iTunes songs. I imagine this question has been answered elsewhere but for the life of me I cannot find a satisfactory answer by searching. Once the right library is selected, you may need to synchronize via the File menu, if beaTunes isn't doing it automatically.Hello everyone. When hovering over the items with the mouse, beaTunes will show all root-folders for each library in the tooltip (screenshot). To identify which one it is, open the beaTunes general preferences and open the combo box that lists the existing libraries. Now save the preferences2.xml file, start beaTunes and select the library we just modified. Once that is done, you can remove the now empty -element for folder_b. All you need to do to combine both libraries into one, is to move the -element describing folder_b to the -element containing folder_a. In essence, this describes two folder-based libraries: One based on folder_a and one on folder_b. If you're using multiple, folder-based libraries, you should see something like this: Then take a look with your favorite text editor, e.g. On Windows, simply copy the mentioned path and paste it into the File Explorer's path field.īefore you open the file, please make sure that beaTunes is not running. On OS X, ~/Library/ is hidden-use Go -> Go to Folder. Unfortunately, the folders are a little hard to find on both operating systems. Despite this, beaTunes 4 is capable of basing folder-based libraries on more than one folder-but it requires a tiny bit of hacking.īeaTunes stores information about music collections in a file called preferences2.xml, which is stored in the folder ~/Library/Application Support/beaTunes/ on OS X and in %LocalAppData%\tagtraum industries\beaTunes\ on Windows. The reason I do both MP3Gain and Winamp for the replaygain is because I’ve been using replaygain for so long that at one point in time some of my devices would only read the info from ID3, and others would only read it from APEv2. By default, folder-based libraries are based on a single folder and the beaTunes user interface does not let you add other folders. Winamp to calculate the Replaygain and store in the ID3 tags. Folder-based libraries are those, that have nothing to do with iTunes, but basically contain all songs in a given base folder ( more info).

A question that comes up every now and then is how to use multiple base-folders in a folder-based library.
