![]() ![]() Both work in concert with iTunes by changing the ID3 tag and iTunNorm tag data used by Sound Check to adjust playback volume. Two popular applications, with versions for both Windows and Mac, that employ the ReplayGain implementation are iVolume and beaTunes.While iTunes’ built-in Sound Check algorithm reportedly uses a similar method, in my experience it doesn’t work nearly as well. The open-source ReplayGain algorithm that takes into account perceived loudness (by the human ear) rather than basing volume adjustment on peak normalization is probably the most sophisticated of these that’s available for consumer use. Track volume adjustment: With massage playlists in particular, it’s important that the volume of individual tracks is consistent from one to the next so any given track is not overpowering in comparison to the others.In cases where the total time exceeds this length, I’ve indicated a candidate track or two for elimination to bring the time below the 80-minute limit. Burning CDs (for those still doing that): Total time on most playlists has been kept enough below 80 minutes to prevent overrunning space when burning to an 80-minute CD and adding a two to four-second inter-track gap.Adding individual track times will give a different figure that can vary by several seconds from the iTunes readout. Total time is the readout from iTunes, i.e., excluding inter-track gaps that may be added when burning CDs, depending on your settings.Maggie Sansone, Loreena McKennitt, Hilary Stagg, Patrick BallĪll notes pertain to the individual playlists, not the overall playlist catalog.

Just download a given playlist’s tracks from your favorite online source, then create the playlist on your end in iTunes or another playback application. But if you appreciate music with substance to it by more accomplished performers as much as I do - if you’re tired of the typically insipid and boring froth conventionally marketed as yoga and massage music - it’s not much of a hurdle. Since I can’t currently offer these for resale, they are do-it-yourself playlists to keep things legal. Check back periodically, as I plan to get the remainder progressively posted over the rest of the summer and fall. As a reminder, you’ll see that added rows have been reserved below in the catalog for the additional playlists to come. Recently (July 2018), I’ve finally gotten my rear in gear and am now moving ahead in my spare time entering and posting the backlog of playlists, after having worked my way through many other site-building tasks (and just life challenges) that required attention first. Catalog numbers displayed with an underlined link can be clicked to go to the page with the playlist.Īpproximately 50 playlists have been created in the Reverie series so far over the years I’ve been doing this. A s time goes on, I’ll gradually be working through the list of Reverie “Massage Mix” playlists shown below (indicated by catalog numbers beginning with “MM”) and getting the tracklists entered in traditional tabular form, each on its own individual page.
