Replaygain - Toshiba Gigabeat F Manual

Chapter 7. Playback Settings

7.9. Replaygain

This allows you to control the replaygain function. The purpose of replaygain is to
adjust the volume of the music played so that all songs (or albums, depending on your
settings) have the same apparent volume. This prevents sudden changes in volume when
changing between songs recorded at different volume levels. For replaygain to work, the
songs must have been processed by a program that adds replaygain information to the
ID3 tags (or Vorbis tags).
Options for replaygain are:
Replaygain Type. Choose the type of replaygain to apply:
Album Gain. Maintain a constant volume level between albums, but keep any
intentional volume variations between songs in an album. (If album gain
value is not available, uses track gain information).
Track Gain. Maintain a constant volume level between tracks. If track gain value
is not available, no replaygain is applied.
Track Gain If Shuffling. Maintains a constant volume between tracks if Shuffle
is set to Yes. Reverts to album mode if Shuffle is set to No.
Off. Do not process replaygain information, i.e. turn off the replaygain function.
Prevent Clipping. Avoid clipping of a song's waveform. If a song would clip during
playback, the volume is lowered for that song. Replaygain information is needed
for this to work.
