Replaygain
eplay Gain (ReplayGain, Replaygain) - a standard for presenting information that allows audio players using it to automatically “soften” the output signal to play different audio files at the same volume level.
Using Replay Gain allows you to avoid manually changing the volume level when playing audio files from different albums / discs recorded with different volume levels.
Replay Gain involves scanning the entire file using psychoacoustic analysis to determine perceived loudness and peak levels.
Another advantage of using Replay Gain is that using peak levels avoids “trimming” songs at high volume.
Typically, a Replay Gain is stored in the audio files as metadata.
Replay Gain implementations usually only add metadata to the audio file without changing the original data. Despite the fact that the Replay Gain standard defines the use of an 8-byte field in the file header, many popular audio formats, such as Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, use tags to store Replay Gain information. Moreover, the most common way to store this information in MP3s is to write APEv2 tags to the end of the file.
Another way to implement this standard is to either directly change the volume level in the scanned file, or create a copy with the modified sound from the original file. As a result, this process may not be completely reversible.
Winamp, Foobar2000, Rhythmbox, Audacious, Amarok 2.1, Quod Libet, and AIMP players support this standard by default.

About Rockbox:
Rockbox is free software to replace the firmware of digital audio players. The Rockbox project began at the end of 2001 and was first implemented on the Archos Studio player.
Rockbox offers an alternative to the player’s firmware, in many cases, without removing the original firmware. Rockbox's internal device allows for increased functionality through the use of expansion modules. Improving functionality includes applications, utilities, and games. Rockbox can provide (retrofit) video playback for players released in the mid-2000s. Rockbox also has a voice-driven user interface suitable for use by people with blindness or impaired vision.
When installing Rockbox in many cases, it is not necessary to write it to flash memory instead of the factory firmware. Instead, a small bootloader is written to the memory, which allows you to choose whether to launch Rockbox or factory firmware.
Rockbox works on a wide variety of sound devices with very different hardware capabilities: from early Archos with their primitive displays to modern players with great picture clarity, digital audio and recording capabilities.
Typically, official firmware is superior to Rockbox only in support of WMA and DRM. They can also have the function of good and accurate rewind, with the ability to hear the stretched area. At the same time, on many players Rockbox is not able to take on all the functions of the original firmware, such as downloading files to the player, recharging.

Detailed description of how to install ROCKBOX on iPod:
And so we begin the installation.
First you need to download some files from the sitehttp://www.rockbox.org/ :
1. iPodpatcher
2. iPod fw
3. ROCKBOX From this link select ROCKBOX for your iPod model.
4. Next, select the bootloader, for each version it is separate:
iPod Photo
iPod 4G (Grayscale)
iPod Nano
iPod video
Further
Go to start>Run>we type cmd and in the opened black, scary window we type the following ...
Attention!!! We recruit the team exactly as it says here and no initiative (extra space or something like that), otherwise nothing will work.
So create the rockbox folder on drive C:
c: (enter)
cd \ (enter)
md rockbox (enter)
cd rockbox (enter)
P.S. - enter and do not type brackets!
The c: \ rockbox folder appeared on your C drive, we transfer to it the four files that we downloaded from the sitehttp://www.rockbox.org.
Next, connect the iPod to the computer, iTunes is closed, in iTunes enable the function of using iPod as a hard drive
We determine what kind of disk your iPod appears to be, for this in the same black window (I hope you did not close it), we type the following ...
ipodpatcher 0 (enter)
ipodpatcher 1 (enter)
ipodpatcher 2 (enter)
ipodpatcher ... (enter) and type until your iPod is detected.
! Remember the number! Your iPod is identified.
In the same window, type the following ipodpatcher -r X bootpartition.bin where X is the number that you remember.
Next, type ipod_fw -o apple_os.bin -e 0 bootpartition.bin
Next, IF YOU have iPod Video, type the following: ipod_fw -o apple_sw_5g_rcsc.bin -e 1 bootpartition.bin IF ANOTHER MODEL Ignore this and go on ...
1. iPod 4G (grayscale) - type ipod_fw -g 4g -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-4g.bin
2. iPod Photo - type ipod_fw -g color -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-color.bin
3. iPod Nano - type ipod_fw -g nano -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-nano.bin
4. iPod Video - type ipod_fw -g video -o rockboot.bin -i apple_os.bin bootloader-video.bin
Next, start flashing the iPod ...
We type ipodpatcher -w X rockboot.bin where X is the number you remembered.
We pull out the cable from the iPod, the player starts to reboot and tries to load the ROCKBOX, but it doesn’t work because the ROCKBOX itself has not yet been poured.
After the player has downloaded Apple firmware, we connect the cable again to the iPod.
(the black window can already be closed)
Next, open the explorer and find your iPod. In the folder with: \ rockbox you will find a ZIP archive that we downloaded at the beginning of the installation.
Open the iPod and fill the contents of the archive into the root directory of the iPod (by simply dragging the mouse). Now, if you did everything correctly, ROCKBOX is uploaded to your iPod.
Again we pull out the cable from the iPod, it reboots ...
Everything, when loading, ROCKBOX starts !!!
So that it does not seem so scary to you, download from the sitehttp://www.rockbox.orgdifferent topics.
To boot into Apple firmware at boot, press and hold MENU.
In order to get everything back (delete ROCKBOX) in the same black window, in the same way as we typed before, we type ipodpatcher -w X bootpartition.bin where X is the same number that we remembered and that's it.
Now you don’t need iTunes to upload music to your iPod, just copy it directly to your iPod or the folder or folders you created in it, as you wish.
And so we begin the installation.
First you need to download some files from the sitehttp://www.rockbox.org/ :

Next, connect the iPod to the computer, iTunes is closed, in iTunes enable the function of using iPod as a hard drive
Pod can be used as a hard disk for storing and transferring files.
First you need to run iTunes
Next, select your iPod in the Source iTunes list and click on the options button.
Select the General menu and set the Enable disk use option.
When using iPod as a hard disk, the iPod disk icon appears on the Macintosh desktop, and a new disk appears in Windows Explorer on the Windows Explorer computer with the next free letter.
Tip: Setting the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option in the Options window also makes it possible to use iPod as a hard drive.
Tip: You must use iTunes to transfer music files to your iPod. Songs transferred using iTunes will not be visible in the Macintosh Finder or Windows Explorer (Explorer). Similarly, if you copy music files to iPod using the Macintosh Finder or Windows Explorer (Explorer), you cannot play them on iPod.
But as they say "out of every problem you can find a way out if you try."

In fact, everything is much easier with the installation! (For example, ipod video 3gb)
Unpack the archive into the root of the player and reboot: rolleyes: (on old ipod nano this also rolls)

Lord. Can someone tell me which of the more or less modern models I should choose under Rockbox. The question was born for the reason that there is interest in this software. But there is no way to purchase a compatible model (from the recommended ones). I did not find such on sale, even used. And to be honest, there is no desire to buy a model released at the beginning of the century, especially considering the price of fresh iron.

There is an iPod nano 2gen 2GB. Rockbox stood for about a year, did not know grief, but now when it connects to the BB, it only takes charge and is not displayed in the explorer (or displayed as an empty disk).
On other machines - no problem. Worth Windows 7 x86

And I have a problem ... I decided to put the Rockbox on Sansa Clip Zip, the utility says that everything is ok, but when it starts, the native firmware starts ... in the root everything is there that you need ... maybe you need to patch the bootloader as before ???
How about porting RockBox to the Iriver E100? There are those who want to "smash their heads?" Write to the PM
