Song volume difference between iTunes and iPod

I changed the volume of a few songs that were too loud or too weak when playing in iTunes. Now the volume is fine when playing in iTunes.
But when I tranfer my songs to my iPod mini, the songs where I boosted the volume are WAY TOO LOUD, and the songs where I lowered the volume are WAY TO SILENT !!
It seems that iPod mini interpretes the volumes in a different scale than on iTunes...
PS. Don't tell me to use the automatic volume control, because it's not fine enough to be useful...

"what if i dont have a mac?"
Buy one? (sorry, couldn't resist) : )
I have only ever used mp3gain on Windows, and apparently it now supports AAC files also (as a Beta version).
That's the only one I have personal experience of.

Volume difference between iTunes and iPod?

I use MP3Gain so that all my songs are the same volume. Whenever I play music in iTunes everything is the same volume like it should be, but when I listen to my iPod the songs are all their original volumes (before they were equalized) and therefore their volumes are all over the board. Anybody know how I can make the iTunes and iPod volume the same?

Is Sound Check turned on in iTunes? It needs to be on in iTunes and the iPod in order for the iPod to use it.

Itunes sells and rents content that you download to your computer.

Differences in sort order between iTunes and iPod

Can someone explain how the sort order of artists / albums works? It seems that it is different between iTunes and the iPod. In iTunes (7.3.1) I can enter data in the fields for Artist, Album Artist, Sort Artist and Sort Album Artist. When I get the tracks to appear in the order I want in iTunes, it doesn’t seem to transfer across to my iPod. I know there are some differences in how the sort order works in both, but how is it different?

I believe the new sort order only works on the new iPods (Nano and Video)

Hey bryce255,
Thanks for the question, that definitely sounds frustrating. Luckily, we have steps available that may be able to restore your previous library:
No content shows up in iTunes after updating
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967
Resolution
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
3. Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
4. Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
5. Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
6. Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
7. Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
8. Rename this file to iTunes Library.
9. Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
If the above does not resolve your issue, you can learn about re-creating your iTunes library:

You posted your question in the section for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. You might get useful advice if you post it in one of the iTunes sections of these discussion groups.

Best ways to manually manage songs and other media between iTunes and iPod?

I have a Video iPod (60 GB) and I connect it to two computers, with all my songs being on one of them (my Desktop). Since I connect to two, I have my iPod set to manually manage. My question is, is there any way for me to tell in iTunes what songs I have in iTunes but not on the iPod? If I could see that, it would make manually managing the iPod much easier. If this is available, could someone let me know how? If it is NOT available, are there other strategies people have used to make sure they are aware of what is on the iPod and what is not?
Thanks in advance,
- DTC

I appreciate your help but I don't think you've read my message totally because I know that there should be a button where you can set it manually, but I strangely I don't have that kind of button (see: http://www.youruploadservice.be/uploads/iPod.JPG) Is it because I don't have a Mac? Because I'm sure I have the latest version of iTunes. Could you pls help?

'Volume Adjustment' effect is different between iTunes and iPod

I spent weeks using the 'Volume Adjustment' option on hundreds of quieter albums in my library to consistently match the louder volume levels of newer albums of my library. I wanted playback to be even across the board of my entire library. Some needed a small percentage of increase, some needed the maximum. To my ears' content, I played each adjusted album back in iTunes through powered monitors and studio headphones to make sure each album was just right.
To my horror, after I sync my new library to my newly wiped and restored 5th gen. iPod Classic, the 'Volume Adjustment' effect is multiplied and the playback on anything that was adjusted is ridiculously louder than even the originally loudest album I have. I am also using the same headphones with my iPod that I used to adjust the albums in iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
So pretty much my question is, "what the ****?!"
In iTunes, the 'Volume Adjustment' is great, and playback is perfectly even across the board while I am actually playing back in iTunes. Either I need to go back and change each and every album I adjusted to a much lower adjustment and have to deal with quiet playback in iTunes once again or I can get ear-blasted by my iPod during track changes yet still enjoy the even sound levels in iTunes. I playback in iTunes as frequently as I use my iPod.
There is no grey area and I am sad about this :'( Why is there no consistency? Has this been discussed before or does anyone have a solution?
Thanks for your time,

i don't own a classic but you might want to see if you find a +sound check+ setting on it. you may want to enable sound check in iTunes and the iPod.
additionally, you might want to check out iVolume.

Is there a difference between itunes and apple tv

Sorry if this has been asked before. Is there a difference between the content on iTunes and the content on Apple TV?
I was searching for a movie today and found differing results to begin with between the iTunes on my phone and iTunes on my ipad2, this turned out to be the price for a SD version on my iPhone and the HD version found on my iPad2. However I searched for the same movie on Apple TV and couldn't find it, hence the why I am asking if there is a difference between what's available.

Your Apple TV searches iTunes Store for either SD or HD but not both at the same time (you can change the default in settings), so if something isn't available in HD and you search using the HD default, you won't see it.

HT1386 Play count wont update between iTunes and iPod Nano 7th Gen

I have a iPod nano 7th generation and have the latest version of iTunes on my MacBook Pro... when I play music on my iPod and connect it to my computer, the play count doesn't update on my iTunes... The same can be said for when I play music on my iTunes...the play count wont update on my iPod... any ideas how to fix this? AK

If you want to make song files from your iTunes library available on your car audio system, and it connects using a USB port, a new iPod nano is a very expensive way to do it. If that's the only reason for getting the iPod nano, you should return it and get a cheap 8 or 16GB USB flash drive instead, which costs less than $20. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SanDisk/SDCZ33016G/
You can then leave it connected in the car all the time, except for when you want to update the songs. An iPod is more fragile (especially screen and battery), and you'll have to always remember to remove it, in case the car overheats or freezes. It would also be a target for thieves.
For the audio file format, I can't believe any car audio system would ONLY play Window Media files, and not the most common type of audio files, MP3. Songs purchased from the iTunes Store, and those ripped from music CD (using the default settings), are in AAC format. It's possible the car system does not play AAC. So, I would try songs from your iTunes library that are in MP3 format.
You can use iTunes to convert songs from AAC (or any iTunes supported format) to MP3. So, if MP3 works, and you need details on how to convert audio format using iTunes, please post back. You cannot convert to WMA format (which is Windows Media audio) using iTunes.

Updating Top 25 between iTunes and iPod Nano

Is there someway you can update your Top 25 Most Played (smartlist), so it includes the playcounts from iTunes and your iPod Nano. If not, how do u just update your Top 25 list on the Nano, to also update on iTunes?

It still doesnt answer my original question.
I want my library on there (manually so it doesn't update it with itunes). But I want the Top 25 Most Played List updated with my iTunes and Nano playcounts (So if I play a song on iTunes, it will also count on the Top 25 Most Played list on the Nano).
If I try to do the Top 25 list automatically, I can't add my library to it, unless I just make all songs and playlists automatically. But again, I dont want my library on there autmoatically, just in case i do change a song.
Can somebody help?

The difference between iPhone and iPod earphones with mic ?

What is the difference between the Apple iPhone Headset with Microphone and the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic ?

The iOS just WORKS as it should and is not glitchy at all like my experience has been with Android.
I had 6 Droid X's since laundh day on July 15th, and my wife has had 4 Droid Increidble's since she got her phone around that same time - and that one had been out for a few months before she got it even, so the "initial bugs" should have been worked out by then as there were a couple software updates to the phone (not even the 2.2 update I am talking about - just 2.1 updates to fix bugs) before she even got it.
And, that's another difference.....whenever there is a software update for the iPhone you get it IMMEDIATELY as there is no "hold" by carriers to tailor it to their own needs, etc., like there is with Android.
Good point about the updates, I believe the Fascinate just got the update that's been out for months already.

Songs stop playing in iTunes (and iPod Touch) early

I have a few songs where the song will stop playing and move on to the next song in the playlist early.
The place is different for each song, but it's consistent within the song. For example, I have one song where the song plays fine up until 43 secs before the end, and then it switches to the next song. If I advance the counter to -42 secs, skipping -43, the song finishes fine.
These were all bought from Apple, they're m4p files.
Is there anything I can do?

Do you have the original file on your computer? If it plays in iTunes without ending early, then the resolution is to take the song off of the device and put it back on.
If the original (on your computer) got corrupted somehow (iTunes 8 appears to muck up files during transfers), then contact the iTunes Store by reporting a problem with a purchase. Perhaps they'll allow you to replace the file -- they did that for me when one of the songs I'd purchased somehow got corrupted. If you have a backup, you could also replace the song from backup.

Price difference between iTunes and Amazon instant video

We've always purchased instant videos from Amazon, because we had TiVos to download them to. We recently upgraded to the XL4 in the living room, and minis in the other rooms. There is a copyright problem with the minis and we are unable to watch any purchased or rented movies from Amazon on them. They can only be watched on the XL4. I'm not a fan of roku because it isn't compatible with one of our tvs. I love the apple tv. I'd like to just put one in all the rooms, but I'm finding a big difference with the price of instant videos on iTunes HD, vs Amazon HD. Example: Haven season 1 and 2 are $19.99 on both iTunes and Amazon. Season 3 is $35 on iTunes and $19.99 on Amazon. If it were just a few dollars more, I'd buy it, but $15 is a big difference for 1 show.
Does anyone know if iTunes will start matching prices, or become more comparable with Amazon and Vudu?

All prices are set by the content providers, so it's the TV company that will need to change their prices for iTunes. Whether that will happen, only the providers will know.
