So - you can run MP3Gain from inside MP3Tag? Who knew! This is amazing for me.

I am sure that it is possible to interpret the code that calls mp3gain without any knowledge of German.

But not easier than the command line prompt that I posted.

In the linked case, mp3gain.exe writes the value into your tags. Mp3tag is just calling this 3rd party tool with this options: [image] it seems (according a quick self test) that this tool write this 6 values into additional APEv2 tags in your files MP3GAIN_MINMAX MP3GAIN_ALBUM_MINMAX REPLAYGAIN…

Hey - thanks for the heads-up. I really appreciate it! :+1: I didn't entirely understand what you quoted - just that it's bad for mp3 players... :yum: But, my music never leaves my hard drive. I just use it in DJ software. Do you think that those additional APEv2 tags would cause issues in Sera…

[image] Patch: Do you think that those additional APEv2 tags would cause issues Perhaps not in those players but definitely when tagging with MP3tag and the tags are out of sync. As MP3tag prefers APE tags over ID3 tags you see only the contents of the APE tags (if you let them be read). You…

Thanks fellas. I’ll take care not to test on my whole collection!

The optimum way would be to first use the gain function, then transfer the APE fields to the ID3 fields and then tag the ID3 fields (and delete the APE tags).

Hmmm... Not so sure I’d need to do that. I’ve used MP3Gain for many years and never changed anything it does. But launching it from MP3Tag is a definite improvement on my current process/workflow. Could this User Tool be combined with, or launched from/as an action (or action group)?
