Of course now the levels are not right when played for iTunes. This made it a quick job to go through the 20 or so songs I had to trim with not much time to spare before the party. So if I had a setting of one large division of Boost or Cut on the slider, I then just scaled that down one minimum increment on the slider. Why 7? Well it was simply that I found that there are 7 clicks between the large divisions on the volume slider. (Tracks that had been given a 'negative' gain were extremely quiet and those give a 'positive' gain were extremely loud.) I was able to correct the problem by dividing the Volume Adjustment value that seemed fine in iTunes by a factor of 7 to get the volume about right in the iPod. anyone know what i can do, the thing is a want to adjust the volume to the same level. While they sounded fine in iTunes when I synched to the iPod the adjustments had been hugely exagerated. i have tried both steps in the guide below without getting it to work, the problem is that the files without the right stays that way after i tried the guide. Then I set about making adjustments to those tracks that were still too loud or quiet. (I would use iVolume, but it isn't available for Windows yet.) Anyhow, the result was certainly better than not using Sound Check. I tried using Sound Check but was well aware not to expect too much knowing that it only appears to store the peak value rather than the average. Is there any fix in beta, or is there a workaround? I'm afraid to even go down this road on the iPhone! Thx. As far as I know Apple hasn't done anything to fix this I would think it would be relatively easy to at least make it so that the Volume Adjutment settings in iTunes get transferred to the iPod. Obviously, for everyone who listens to their iPod in shuffle mode (a majority of iPod owners), this is a huge deal. When I sync with the iPod, it seems that this information gets transferred, but it gets corrupted, and iTunes volume setting changes are magnified (sometimes by a huge margin!) on the iPod with even worse results! Third party vendors like Volume Logic make a plug in for iTunes that helps maintain consistent levels in iTunes only. In this mode, iVolume scans all of the tracks. Since the Sound Check feature is mediocre at best and annoying at worst, I've turned it off and have spent many hours going through my 3,000+ iTunes music library, manually adjusting the levels using true VU meters. iVolume provides the capability to compute volume adjustments on a per-album basis, whereas iTunes does not. I cannot get the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1) and the iPod (3.1.1) software to share the Options/Volume Adjustment information for each song in my music library.
