This would take for ever, so I looked for an application that would do it for me, and iVolume seemed ideal. I wanted all my 6½ thousand music tracks on iTunes to be at the same volume level, and had started listening to them individually and adjusting each one. They may merit 5 stars, but there's no way to tell since I couldn't test the app. I'm giving 2 stars for Features, Value and Stability just because I have to provide a rating to submit this review. I didn't get to fully evaluate the app, because I don't have the patience or time to sit here pressing the Continue button every 20 seconds, and I'm not not gonna waste time making a script to do it for me.

Maybe the registration screen pops up after a certain number of tracks have been processed, but it worked out to every 5 seconds for me.Īnd don't you dare go try to use another app while it's running, because in 5 seconds when it's time to hit Continue again, the icon begins bouncing in the Dock, making you want to punch the screen. So after running for 5 seconds, you must wait 20 seconds before you can run for 5 more seconds! Then, even though the process starts again, it provides an extremely annoying uh-uh sound when you press the Continue button. You must wait the designated amount of time before you may proceed: 1st pause=5 sec., 2nd pause=10 sec., 3rd pause=15 sec., and every pause after that is 20 seconds. When unregistered, the process only runs for 5 seconds before it stops and displays a registration nag screen. That "time to time" works out to every 5 seconds! This is the worst case of NAGware I've ever seen! The registration window says it will remind you "from time to time to register." Here's hoping he can figure out some way to work around this, because I've tried everything (and I've been coercing iTunes to do what I want it to do since v1.0, so I know my way around it).
I've contacted the developer with a detailed report of this problem. While iVolume itself still works quite well, this issue really defeats the entire purpose of using it. If a song plays too loud or too quiet, it's basically stuck that way.
#Ivolume keeps crashing update#
ITunes now seems to have the original SoundCheck level for each song (as measured by iTunes when the song was first imported) stored in its big unreadable binary database, and apparently there is no longer any way to get it to update that value.
Even restarting iTunes between changes doesn't help. Here's the worst part: as soon as you change that tag back, iTunes reverts to the wrong volume level, which means there's effectively no way to get it to recognize the SoundCheck level set by iVolume unless you're willing to have wrong info for the song. The *only* way to get iTunes to recognize the volume level in the file is to change a tag for one (and *only* one) song at a time, e.g. Absolutely nothing will change when editing multiple songs. Selecting multiple songs and changing one or more tag values no longer causes iTunes to refresh the SoundCheck value for those songs. It used to be possible to "nudge" iTunes into re-reading the iTunNORM value from the file, but the old trick for this (editing some tag, then changing it back) no longer works.ġ. Awesome Usability: All the features above are fun and incredibly easy to use through a modern and clear user interface.Īs of iTunes 11 (or maybe one of the later versions of iTunes 10.x), I've run into a lot of songs in my library that are no longer playing at the correct volume level.Highly Configurable: Create groups to apply individual fine tuned settings to any specified subset of your songs.This method is particularly suitable for adjusting gapless live albums. Keeps Albums Intact: By using a sophisticated album detection algorithm iVolume optionally adjusts albums as a whole to keep the intention of the artist.Apply changed adjustment settings without the need for re-analyzing your songs. Avoids Unnecessary Work: iVolume remembers all results ever calculated.Blazingly Fast: iVolume takes advantage of newest technologies to fully utilize every core of modern multiprocessor machines for optimal performance.Most popular audio file formats like MP3, M4A/AAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless are supported.
