I have recently discovered MP3Tag and hope to use it to achieve a task that I'm sure is quite simple but as I can fine no scripting guide, is taxing me. I have around 4000 mp3 files that I have ripped over the years. I have recently done a major clean up of the key tags so I can port them to my iPhone. I have used foobar2000 to apply ReplayGain to level the volume and have tested with both the "Scan Per File Track" and "Scan Selection as Single Album" However, even if I set the base decibel level from 89db to 94db, It still makes the same adjustment to the ReplayGain tags. I would like to increase the overall volume of all files to prevent me having to play everything at full volume on the iPhone. For some reason many tracks, even at full volume are too quite when using the std earphones (rather than the in ear ones) on a busy street. Foobar ReplayGain seems to decrease all the tracks by 5-7db and I would rather it left them at the same level. I think the base db setting is only for the foobar player and not for the tag creation. Thus I thought I could use MP3tag to change the adjustment on the Album ReplayGain Tag from the -7 to say 0 across all files. I'm sure it can easily be done with the custom actions but I have no idea how to find syntax for the script. I have already set up one custom action to convert the ReplayGain tags to iTunes ones using Format Tag “COMMENT ITUNNORM “ to "$rg2sc(%REPLAYGAIN\_TRACK\_GAIN%)" --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/add-album-volume-increase-via-replay-gain-tag/10978)._
