As an "old" user of "mjs" in our punk-club I would to upgrade our jukebox with Pytone. The features are quite bigger than mjs so this is logic but still one feature is missing and are very importanat for the "public place" sound systems and is called "volume normalization". Everybody knows that the mp3 and ogg files have usually different native volumes and this become very problematic cause one song is very loud when the next one is quieter.
I know this problem...
I'm not so familiar with programming but usually this is done by adding some volume tags in the ID3 song tag which is readable by the player which consequently adjust the volume.......or something like this....
I once looked over the Replay Gain website: http://replaygain.hydrogenaudio.org
In principle it should be not too difficult to implement support for this feature, but I was not really sure whether this is a standard or not.
It will be very nice to implement this feature to the one of the next releases which will give to the PyTone the status of perfection.
Hey, if it's only that ;-)
