Soundcheck and Db level of songs

Can anyone explaine how'Soundcheck' works??
I have found that sometimes it boosts ballad-type-songs to the point of distortion.
Also when looking at the song info when soundcheck is ticket you can see a Db level. When unticked the Db level disappears!
Is 'soundcheck' worth putting 'on' (on iTunes and iPod), how does it work and does adj the volume of the iniovidual track (in info) effect it?

For Windows, there is no better solution than foobar2000. It has full ReplayGain support, which is superior to Sound Check. See here for technical details.
Likewise, for OS X, there is also no better solution than ReplayGain. For MP3s and unprotected AACs, the most functional solution is MacMP3Gain. It is also free. It's important to mention that with ReplayGain, you can make adjustments to files at the album (audiophile) and track (radio) level. If your library consists of complete albums, then album gain is the way to go, as it will preserve the subtleties of the album and the listening experience will be as it was intended.

Joint Stereo and dB level

my .wav custom import settings won't change back to normal stereo, it keeps selecting joint stereo.
and, one of my songs imported volume is at +4.3 dB and is distorting, the rest of the songs from the album are fine. I tried re importing it using cd quality settings, I also turned down the songs volume adjustment, and there's still distortion.
any suggestions are welcome.

Inconsistent volume levels from song to song

Hi guys. I've lurked here for the past week now and I haven't seen this complaint so I figured I would ask. I'm getting what seems to be inconsistent volume levels from song to song. On one song 70% volume seems loud but on the next I can kick the volume all the way up and it's not as loud. I've noticed this on the phone and through my truck which has a hardwired Ipod adapter.
I don't have the problem with the same library of tunes on my Gen V Ipod so I'm likened to believe it's a phone issue.
The problem is very noticable on my motorcycle as you have to find a sweet spot for the music to be loud enough to hear but not so loud as to hurt your ears. Last night on an hour ride it seemed as if some songs came through loud and clear and others were barely audible over the bike.
So anyone else? Other than this I have the typical problems with the low speaker/ headset volume and the Ipod software crashing when running Safari but I expected these things with a first gen product. Overall the phone is great and it's user interface makes my Ipod feel archaic. I'd put money on Apple releasing an Ipod in the near future with cover-flow and multitouch.

Thanks guys... That was indeed the problem. In fact I remember fiddling with this setting a couple days after buying the phone and I turned it on to see what it did. Not having immediately noticed any difference I completely forgot about the setting and didn't think to check it.
Problem solved.

The songs I'm not able to import casme from CD's. Nothing from napster etc.
I've tried and tried to import them rom iTunes vis "Library" " Import"

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

How do you delete songs from iphone5, that are not in your iTunes library on the computer?! I have the spot unchecked where it says show all music and I still have songs on my iPhone that I want gone, but they're not in my iTunes library...HELP

I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(

The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

I've been using Ringtone Maker to add ringtones to my iPhone. The app is now telling me my music I bought from the iTunes store is not exportable. I downloaded a new app called Ringer and it says my song "has no audio tracks". What am I doing wrong?

never mind. i think it just makes you review the information -- it looks like you have to click through everything.

Why is it that when I connect my iPod to my car stereo through USB, some of the songs don't appear and play when these songs are on my playlist normally?

Hello all
This has been bugging me for a little while. I bought myself a new bluray player awhile back and it has a USB hookup for ipods. This goes the same with my vehicle too. I have a few good playlists with some great songs, however, when i hooked it up to my bluray player, some of the songs didn't appear in the playlist that are not normally there. I disconnected the ipod and had a look on the screen and sure enough the songs are there, but they are just not appearing on the bluray player. This only happens for some songs, not all of them. I was disappointed at this because I really wanted to hear my songs. So I decided to download the WHOLE album off of itunes from which I got the song from and sure enough, this time the song appeared on my bluray player and it played in the playlist.
Why is this? Is there a way to make it so that I can have all the songs play without downloading all of the albums?

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

I just updated Itunes to the newest version and now my entire song library is saying 'can't play this song because original file can't be found'. ***??

I have no idea what happened!? I just updated Itunes on my macbook and now my entire song library won't play. When I click on a song it says it can't play because it can't find the original file. How is this possible? The original files are on my computer. I just upgraded!! HELP!!

The only thing I can think of is that you deleted these files off your computer without using iTunes to do it. Or maybe you backed up your computer to a previous state to where these song files didn't exist? The last one doesn't even make sense to me unless you used Time Machine to do it. But those are the only things I can think of.
