IPod Song Volume

I am about to give up. I have tried both sound check on and off and have wiped out the IPod and started over twice but still can't get the song volume to match between the IPod and ITunes. I just spent a half day song by song getting the songs to play at the same volume in ITunes, Restored the IPod and the reloaded everything. SOund Check is off on both ends. The ITunes sounds great but the IPod volumes are all over the map. I have been chasing this problem since I got it for Christmas. Any ideas??

  • Ipod song volume software recommendation.

    I am looking for software recommendation for to control volume on ipod, as Sound is horrible. Far from consistent. Any and all recommendations are welcome and appreciated.

    Have you tried the Sound Check option in iTunes?
    I assume you are referring to volume from one song to the next going from too quiet to blow our your ear drums loud?
    I turned on Sound Check and that helped considerably. But now I have to go back in and tweak some volumes for some CDs, especially for ones that I had boosted way up before using Sound Check. So as I listen to stuff, if I notice a particular artist, album, track, being overly quiet or loud compared to most, I make a note to adjust it later when I get home. Using the "recently played" play list helps you to find those ones you recently played that have the problem.

  • What is "Determining Song Volume?"

    And why does it take so long?
    I want to update a restored iPod on iTunes 7, but it's spending forever going through 4,000 some songes to "Determine Song Volume." I have not seen iTunes do that before.
    Is there a way to make it stop?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    iTunes "determins song volume" so that it can play back all songs with about the same volume. To do this is it has to go through all your music and determin the volume of each song.
    You probably never noticed this before since it is quite fast doing just a few songs at a time (the way most of us add music to our libraries). Unfortunately iTunes 7 aparently goes through all songs and determins the volume again (probably becuase there was a problem with this is some earlier versions of itunes)
    You can make it stop by turning off "soundcheck" in the playback preference pane.

  • ITunes cannot read contents of iPod "New Volume"...

    Won a brand new iPod Nano 16GB yesterday. Installed everything and it worked fine until this morning... When I plugged in the iPod, iTunes gave me the following error message:
    +iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "New Volume". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings.+
    So, I followed the instructions to restore the factory settings, but I keep getting the same error message just after the restore process is complete.
    I also don't get all the restore options as mentioned on the support pages, and for some reason the iPod name I set up yesterday is now also gone.
    I've uninstalled iTunes, re-installed it and reset the iPod - but to no avail.
    Can anyone please help?

    Hello MadHolmes,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions! And congrats on winning the iPod.
    So your iPod is stuck in sort of a restore loop? It sounds to me like the iPod's drive letter may need to be reassigned. I would at least start there. Instructions on how to change your iPod's drive letter can be found in the Apple support document below.

  • Ipod songs like crap

    not all songs but most have distortion when the song volume goes up. i've swapped headphones and i've gotten the same result. the files sound great through the computer. what's wrong?

    I first had this problem with certain albums on my 5th gen Video iPod. I finally found the answer is the gain level the music was originally recorded at. The distortion you are hearing is "clipping" and is made worse if you use the EQ. I downloaded a program called MP3Gain which allows you to decrease or increase the gain of songs or albums. Reducing the gain should eliminate the distortion, but you should be aware that it will decrease the volume of the songs you run the program against. MP3Gain will not reduce the quality of the tracks as it does not re-rip them, it simply inserts a tag to indicate that the gain should be lowered. If you do not like the results, all changes are easily reversible.

  • Equalising song volume...

    So I've tried over and over again to use the sound checker in iTunes to help equalise the volume in my iTune songs so I don't have to adjust my volume all the time but I find it to be useless.
    Does anyone know of a program that will help equalise the volume of mp4's in batches so it can analyze a bunch of files, determine the average volume range, and then convert them into that volume?

    I too am wondering the very same thing! All of my files are mp3 and when I playback on my iPod the volume is ALL over the place. I have used mp3Gain on every files and it doesn't help on my iPod and iTunes?
    I have set my gain to 89dB for each of my files and saved the gain tags to the files but it doesn't seem to work when using the iPod?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Determing Song Volume

    HI Folks
    Just updated iTunes and now in the window it says "Determining Song Volume: Analyzing xxx of 2165: Song Name"
    I've never noticed iTunes doing this on previous updates.
    Can anyone let me know why this is necessary?
    Thanks

    Sounds like you have "Sound Check" turned on.

  • Ipod songs don't show up on my work computer

    I have 60gb ipod I bought last month. I put a bunch of music on it on my home computer, and wanted to add songs to it at work. When I connect the ipod to my work comp., it doesn't find any of the songs on there, despite my manual update setting. Any idea how to access the songs (they are on the ipod when i unplug it, so they're not gone)?
    Both comps are using XP

    Automatic syncing is controlled (set up by the user) using the iPod's Music tab.  Select the iPod in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right (near the top), there is a row of "tabs" (they look like buttons in the latest iTunes), that starts with Summary.  Click on Music there.
    Make sure Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you tell iTunes how you want your iPod synced with music.  If your entire iTunes music library will fit on the iPod, you can select Entire music library.  Then, any change to your library (such as purchasing new songs from the iTunes Store) should automatically sync to the iPod. 
    Otherwise, if the entire library will not fit or you don't want to fill up the iPod with only songs, you need to set up syncing based on Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Below that setting, set up the rest of the Music tab to tell iTunes what playlists, artists, albums, or genres to sync.  Only the songs included in your selection will sync to the iPod, so if you purchased new songs, they will not sync to the iPod unless thay are included in the selection on the Music tab. 
    One easy way to set it up is to create a new playlist in iTunes, and call it something like "iPod songs."  From your music library, add ALL the songs you want on the iPod to this playlist (including those new songs).  On the iPod's Music tab, select this playlist for syncing.  Going forward, any change you make to this playlist (adding or removing songs) will sync to the iPod automatically when it is connected and you tell it to Sync.
    You can also set up the other tabs, such as Movies and Podcasts (and Apps for an iPod touch), to set up syncing for those other categories of media.  Just make sure the total size of the selection is less than the capacity of the iPod (shown on the "bar" near the bottom).
    All of the above has not changed for the latest version if iTunes.  It works the same as before...

  • Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

    That really does not work since music is not included in the backup.  See:

  • How do I put all my iPod songs into my iTunes library?

    I got my iPod in October, and at the time I didn't own a computer. I used my dad's computer to put songs from my CDs onto my iPod.
    Today I finally bought my own laptop, a Mac iBook. I'm trying to load all my iPod songs into my iTunes, but I can't figure out how.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Colleen,
    The transfer of music is designed to be one way by default - from iTunes to iPod. However, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection but I would recommend Senuti, I have used it myself and it's very user friendly.

    iPodRip Mac Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

    Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these and pick one you are happy with, they are generally quite straightforward.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • How do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?

    how do i transfer all my ipod songs from my ipod to my new computer?
    i stil have my old computer. but i have 500 songs. so i dont want to burn them onto cds then upload them. is there a way to transfer the songs from the ipod to my new computer?
    dell demension 9100   Windows XP  

    Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
    I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
    Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

  • Determining song volume

    I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows Vista, and when I download a song, or play a song, the info bar at the top runs a process called "determining song volume". when ever that runs, iTunes stops working, and shuts down. then Vista loads a help page, and tells me to get a download that fixes this problem, but the link takes me to download the newest version of iTunes (which I already have). can anyone offer any help?

    You need to disable the Sound Check function, which makes all the songs play at the same level. This is probably taking too much memory, and then crashing iTunes.
    Sound Check can be disabled in Preferences > Playback Tab > untick "Sound Check" > OK.
    This should fix your problem.
