Hello,
I have recently used wavpack to increase the sound volume of some wv-files. I observed that the ID3V tags of the files were converted to ape tags - which I do not like at all. Is there a possibility to maintain the tag format? In the user documentation for wavgain there are no command line switches at all that have something to do with tags... |

It's not a silly question at all, and yes, you understand correctly.
WvGain writes the replaygain information to the APEv2 tag to tell players (that observe the tag) to change the gain of the playback. It does not modify the audio data at all (if it did, it really could not be called "lossless" anymore, for one thing). As to whether CDs burned from these files would have modified volume, that depends on what the burner is set up to do. My guess would be that the best ones would have an option to observe the replaygain tags for burning (which would be nice for "mix" CDs), but don't do it by default. |
