aac louder mp3

[MrGeorgen]

I play the files with mpd and the tagged aac files are louder than the tagged mp3 files

[desbma]

Can you upload the same track as MP3 and AAC so I can look at it?

[MrGeorgen]

It did not tag the aac file at all. I must have overlooked it because I tagged an directory. I get the following output:

Unhandled 'AAC' tag format for file 'Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (Official Video).aac'
File 'Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (Official Video).aac': loudness = SKIPPED, sample peak = SKIPPED

[desbma]

Can you upload that file somewhere, so I can look at it?

[MrGeorgen]

yeah https://mega.nz/file/meQnwIwI#bLFl8APIw9LK9-b0C8NxbgBJx5d-WL_Nejp5jdeMQZw

Can you test commit https://github.com/desbma/r128gain/commit/ec3a7375decc46aefed537f4a2e736ba04c7732e?

[MrGeorgen]

still the same error

Are you sure your are testing the version from commit above?

File should be properly tagged now, despite your sample file having no tags at all initially:

$ r128gain /tmp/Leona\ Lewis\ -\ Bleeding\ Love\ \(Official\ Video\).aac
Unhandled or missing 'AAC' tag format for file '/tmp/Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (Official Video).aac'

[MrGeorgen]

you are right, it works. I ran python r128gain in the directory of the git repo. While this uses the local __main.py__, it imported the old r128gain module I had installed. After reinstalling it, it worked. Thanks for your help and fix
