    iPod collection: convert from ReplayGain to Sound Check and vice versa · 9f0986a7
    Matěj Laitl authored
    By popular demand, we now convert ReplayGain values to Sound Check
    values when transferring tracks to iPod. We also read Sound Check from
    iPod and convert it to ReplayGain on-the-fly when playing a track off
    an iPod in Amarok.
    
    On the other hand, when transferring tracks from iPod to Amarok, Sound
    Check from iPod is _not_ automatically copied (current limitation of
    the ReplayGain implementation in Amarok), but Amarok picks up
    ReplayGain information from meta-data stored inside the track. (Does
    anyone know whether iTunes save Sound Check somewhere in song
    meta-data?)
    
    It is currently hard-coded that *track* ReplayGain is used (Sound Check
    is not able to differentiate between track and album gains), this could
    be configurable in future (but hey, micro-options!) or it could respect
    Settings -> Replay Gain Mode (tricky, the setting would be read *only
    when the song is being transferred to iPod*)

    DIGEST: volume normalization now works between Amarok and iPods
