Edit: This can take a long time and has a similar effect to euPod, so. It is the only volume boosting tweak that I am using atm, and I am happy with it. So no, its not as loud as what it was before mp3Gaining, but Sound Check does help raise the volume to an acceptable level. My mp3gained, 89dB songs usually get boosed by around 4 or 5dB, where as before mp3gaining, the files were reduced in volume (due to Sound Check) by around 4 or 5dB. So when you decrease the volume of your songs, Sound Check will boost them back up by a few dB. It works on the principle that each song should be a certain level (around 94dB). Yes Sound Check is there to level the volume of your songs. Overall, I would say it is better as it doesnt mess with our iTunes.db file on your iPod (less chance of problems) and it is much simpler to let iTunes do the work rather that boosting it after every sync.įrom my understanding of the Sound Check feature in Ipod is that it serves to level your volume of the songs and not to boost its volume ie its usage is similar to that of MP3gain. I used to use the iPod plugin for Winamp before and that is why I have only just realised this method. Thus, if you turn on Sound Check on your iPod it boosts the volume to an acceptable volume. I have found that if the leave the Sound Check option in iTunes it will "volume adjust" files as they are added to a louder volume. One other thing: I have since phased out the use of euPod. From what I gather it was created in association with euPod, and they work on the same principles. You can try it and if you have concerns just leave a fan on it.īlessing: there is a Mac alternative to euPod. I use a small fan blowing on the iPod during these transfers and I have found that it works fine, keeping it cool despite hours of HD spinning. My laptop is USB1.1 though, so transfers can take up to 4 hours (I leave it on overnight) when I transfer my library. It was just enough to make me worried, thus forcing me to stop the conversion. ![]()
