Feature request: Internet radio volume attenuation

[wolfzell]

Hi,

I would really love to have a possibility to reduce the volume of my SB3 automatically when playing internet radio.

When listening to my own tracks, I am using replaygain with a basic volume of 89 dB. Now when I switch to a internet radio station, the compressed volume of the stations almost blows out my speakers and every time I have to reduce the volume manually and put it up again after switching back to my own library.

The change in volume is especially disturbing in the night, so having a way to avoid these extreme volume changes would be very valuable.

One possibility might be a general setup value just like the "PREAMP VOLUME CONTROL" in the player setting. Something like "INTERNET RADIO VOLUME CONTROL". Another way would be an option to adjust the volume setting individually with every entry in the Favorites list.

Is there a way to do this already and I just missed it?

Oh, almost forgot: Would be nice if it would work in the digital domain too. I mean, internet radio isn't "audiophile" anyway...

bye
Wolfgang

Please vote for it. You'll have to create a bugzilla account.

I agree that this would be nice. It could be tricky to implement in a ReplayGain-style though - audio would have to be scanned and adjustments would have to be sent "on the fly". Also for RG to really work it needs to scan the entire file. A fixed "Internet radio volume control" would definitely be better.

Thanx for the hint, I already had an account, just voted for the bug.

The solution proposed there is very nice, but for the beginning one simple adjustment value would help a lot.
