You'll notice that ITUNES no longer takes the time to calculate soundcheck values for each file as it thinks they already exist. I do this process before importing files into ITUNES. If you want to replace AAC (m4a) files' soundcheck values with the replaygain values all is the same but the field you are formatting is "ITUNNORM" rather than "COMMENT ITUNNORM" If you want to use replaygain track level simply replace the "ALBUM_GAIN" above with "TRACK_GAIN" (although not worth the effort as track level replaygain and soundcheck values added by itunes are essentially the same). In the dropdown menu select "format value" formatting the field "COMMENT ITUNENORM" (that is a space between COMMENT and ITUNNORM and you'll have to type this in the box) with the following format string you'll type into the next field below this: $rg2sc(%REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN%)

Then select again the icon on upper right side of this new popup. Give it a name that makes sense to you (e.g., replaygain action). Select the icon on upper right side of this box.

Then you'll see a popup box with a few "actions". Do this by selecting "convert" from menu (must have a file loaded and selected I think). You should create a new action in MP3TAG. Second, you'll need the action that converts the replaygain album number to the soundcheck (Comment ITuneNorm).First, you'll need a relatively recent (last year or so) build of mp3tag.The instructions below assume you have added album and track replaygain tags to your files (using either fb2k or dbpoweramp or some application, etc.). You'll need MP3TAG to do the job (a very nice program in general). This is particularly useful if you prefer ALBUM gain rather than TRACK gain (as I do). Add is an easy way to convert the SOUNDCHECK values to replaygain values instead.Create blog entries on with your favorite playlist or songs.*Automatically set start and end times of songs based on their volume Keep up to date through Amazon™ album charts.
