Itunes replay6/4/2023 I downloaded some "fresh" Flac files that had no tags and applied replay gain to four of them via Winamp before converting the files to M4a. I did more tests to try to understand what was happening. It should show a track gain value of -3.02 dB: Below is a download for one of those "nonconformist" M4a tracks. That's only 20 missing out of about 2000 M4a files. Thank you, Florian! I used Winamp to apply replay gain to several groups of M4a files and the values showed up in 2.83f as expected, all except for 20 of 24 tracks from one CD. If there is any other info you need, please don't hesitate to ask. I repeated the process for the newer file just to ensure that I was not doing something wrong.Īfter I reinstalled Mp3tag 2.77 all the missing replay values reappeared, both in the list and in the extended tag dialog. NewerM4aFile.m4a displays the track value in Winamp and in Mp3tag 2.77 but not anywhere in my installation of 2.83e.īoth files had replay gain added in the same way via Winamp's Send To / Calculate Replay gain feature. OlderM4aFile.m4a displays the track value in Winamp and in Mp3tag, both in the columns and in the extended tag dialog. Linked below are two M4a files that you can download and examine. Refreshing the view and/or rebooting did not help. Now older M4a files with track replay gain do show the values in Mp3tag, but not files that I just processed and saved with Winamp. The problem is back but is slightly different this time. In other respects, I would call this program a triumph of German engineering! I really don't know what I would do without it. This is one of the rare bugs that I have encountered with Mp3tag. I then create a playlist from those files that I open in Winamp, which does the rest of the work. This bug disrupts my workflow because I select files to be processed for replay gain by using a view filter that only shows files that lack values for %replaygain_track_gain%. The view filter expression that I quoted above now returns 1604 files. It worked! All my M4a replay gain values are now shown. I chose this one only because I had a copy on hand. However, after a reboot all M4a replay values disappeared again! At this point, I was rattled and confused.Īt my wits end, I decided to reinstall an earlier version of Mp3tag (2.77). At first, I thought this worked as I could suddenly see the missing replay gain values. I tried reinstalling 2.83d from the latest download. When I ran the view filter expression %replaygain_track_gain% PRESENT AND %_extension% IS M4a it showed no such files in any of my music folders, whereas in fact virtually all my M4as do have replay gain values. By contrast, my Mp3 files always display replay gain values as expected. Now both the tag panel and the list column show nothing. These show up in Winamp's File Info dialog but not in Mp3tag 2.83d. I use Winamp to calculate and save track replay gain values. However, I have lost the ability to display both track and album replay gain values for M4a files. It's been some months since I had occasion to look at replay gain values in Mp3tag so I can't say exactly when the problem started. I am using Windows 7 and was using Mp3tag 2.83d.
