Music playback normalization - Android Apps and Games

I have been using a new feature of the neutron music player that I wanted to point out to anyone interested. The player has the ability to volume normalize (like replay gain) but can do any type of encoding, aac, mp3 ogg, wma. In addition it takes into account the equalizer setting you have chosen for that album. I had been searching for this feature for many years and attempted to use mp3 gain on a PC to do this but that does not work with wma/aac/ogg files. I tested with some tracks that were ripped at very different volume outputs and indeed neutron handled the normalization well.
Here is the link to the description:
http://neutronmp.com/component/content/article/78-neutronmp/features/75-feature-normalization.html
Instructions on how to do this in the software are in the neutron forum discussions.
Hope this helps anyone who is tired of constantly adjusting the volume to keep a given desired volume (or not blowing out your eardrums if you listen at the high level edge as I do)

REPLAYGAIN: which audio player supports it?

i'm looking for a solution to use ReplayGain on my HD2, which is, roughly said, levelling the tracks to the same volume during playback (on the fly) on the basis of a dB value previously scanned and saved in the tracks.
Pocket Player supports that by a DSP plugin
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/plugins.asp
...but in some way this palyer does not work well on my hd2: playback gets slower or faster playing tracks.
Who knows a better solution for ReplayGain?
You can use standalone mp3gain on your PC to level the tracks, for use in any mp3 player. I use pocketplayer on an HD2 with no issues btw(do not use the replay gain plugin)
thanks, but mp3gain is not the same thing cause it changes the volume of all tracks to one specified level, but i do not want to do this.
I want to simply scan the tracks for their volume level and save to the tracks only that scanned value.
Afterwards, during playback, the tracks are levelled to the volume i like by the player: this is the difference between ReplayGain and mp3gain.
Well, Rockbox supports it. They haven't really updated their daily builds but it works fine on my N1 with CM 7.03. (Can't post link since I'm new)
As mentioned already, Rockbox supports it.
Also DeaDBeeF Player (in the market) claims to support it.

Can anybody develope usefull player of lossless audio formats?

This must be such a 'native' player which stays in pause when user of device answers on incoming or make outgoing call.
It must play *.APE and *.FLAC and has simple interface:
playlist + buttons "Play", "pause", "skip forward", "skip backward", "shuffle" and "repeat all/current" + position of playing of current track with possibility of rewind + volume control.
That's all
Who dares?
if you check the Hero app section there is an app there that may fit your needs.
I've use that player. The 'rooted' device is NECESSARY - it's may be difficulty for ordinary users. This player plays track with the same volume in any ways of use of the device.
I'll try to tell my wishes to the author of that player but i'm not sure that it's possible because the player is JAVA application.
Thanks for advise - player is on support.
2admins: topic may be deleted.
CyanogenMod will play FLAC files natively.

[Q] Music Player doesn't normalize volume?

I have normalized the volume on all of my mp3 files using the MP3Gain application on my PC. This applies a factor to the file telling the music player how to adjust the volume for each mp3 so that they will all play at the same level. Otherwise, you get the problem that every mp3 starts at a different volume and you have constantly adjust the level.
Most well-designed music players will use the gain settings and make the level adjustment, but the stock music player on the Captivate seems to ignore the settings.
So, my questions are:
1. Does anybody know how to make the stock music player play nice with the gain settings?
2. Otherwise, does anybody know if there are other players which will use the gain settings.
Also, is the Captivate player a skinned version of the standard Android player? If so, does the standard player pay attention to the gain settings? If so, then maybe there's a hidden setting that will make it work on the Captivate. Anybody who's knowledgeable about this, please jump in.
It would be nice if an Android music player supported ReplayGain, yeah; I'm not sure if any do. It certainly would have to be a third-party music player. The only way to make the stock music player respect this would be to actually normalize the files instead of having ReplayGain tags. The downside, of course, if that this irreversibly changes the actual music files, themselves.

Using Spotify for Android ringtones

Hello,
I'm using the Humble Froyo Rom on my Droid Charge and I'm wondering if there is a way to use Spotify music as ringtones on the phone. Spotify allows for offline play, but I can't figure out how to translate this into using a song as a notification ringtone.
Actually, it may take some skills to set Spotify as your ringtone. You should know that several audio formats can be set as ringtones, no matter what brand your phone is. In common, MP3, M4A, WAV, and OGG are on the permitted list. So, in other words, the key to setting Spotify music as a ringtone is how to convert Spotify music to MP3, M4A, or other formats.
Indeed, there are many Spotify music converters you can choose from. I, myself, have tried the Audbite Spotify Music Converter. So far so good! Simple steps with quick speed. If you are interested, you can have a try!

[Q] BubbleUpnP Important Questions ~

Hello,
First post. I have some questions.
1. I select album and press play in Bubble and it plays in my renderer (Denon Piccolo network music player) HiFi setup. I dont have to switch ON my Denon at all, Bubble does it automatically. Now, my problem is I want to switch OFF the Denon also after listening to music. I am unable to do it in Bubble.
2. I want volume control in the software itself and not the hardware volume. The hardware volume is not very quick it takes much time.
3. I have FLAC files in Netgear NAS. So, if i select Local Renderer (Lennovo tablet), IS the Bubble playing the exact FLAC files or is it down sampling and playing in mp3 format?
Please help. Tx.
