Replay Gain woes

Greetings, great app, I use it all the time, etc.

The only thing that bothers me about this is that, when encoding (at least to flac), the replay gain tags are only written in track mode, not in album mode, even if all the tracks belong to the same album. I have to remove the tags and recalculate them using sounkonverter itself.

Is this a bug, something TODO, or is something too hard to code?

Thanks,

It looks like SoundKonverter can't understand cyrillic file names. I use UTF-8. Any help please?

It would be great if the app asks before quit while there is a job running.

soundkonvertor on KDE4.2.2

The problem goes beyond desktop integration. When converting a batch of flvs to mp3s, the filename starts as Unknown Author.new.mp3 , the next file is Unknown Author.new.new.mp3 , and it keeps incrementing by adding a .new to the filename until it runs out of files. There may be another problem, but I want to verify it before reporting it.

I suggest cautioning packagers to make it unavailable for KDE4.2.2 or later installations until you have a KDE4.2.2 version. The package I used was installed on Kubuntu 9.0.4 Jaunty with KDE4.2.2 .

On 3.5.10, it's a great program, I'm using it right now on my desktop. I look forward to seeing it working correctly on 4.2.2 .

this behaviour is perfectly normal. taglib can't read tags from flv files. you may prefer selecting "%f" instead of "%d - %n - %a - %t" or whatever at the output location. "%f" will be replaced by the input file name.
or select "source directory" as output.

Just discovered this great little gem through an article on Linux.com ("Audio conversion tools for Linux") as I had to convert a bunch of files and though there must be an easier way than writing a Perl script or converting by hand, one by one... strange both ffmpeg, sox and mpeg123 don't accept patterns for batch conversion...

I only stumbled across a usability issue: When selecting a target directory and then selecting a pattern from the popup, the path gets cleared and conversion does not work (stops at 4%) - when changing the path to "same as source directory" it worked very fast (on a core i7 920) and without any problems.

And yes, a KDE4-port would be nice but it is surely some effort to port over to the new frameworks for sound processing et al. So no top priority but nice to have imho...
