To use Sound Check or not to use Sound Check?
I am new to this forum and to Ipod in general. I purchased an Ipod Classic 160G a couple of months ago and am enjoying it. I have ripped about 500 CDs into it at either 128 or 256 kbps AAC. I use the higher codec for CDs that are "old" (pre-1993) or not remasters. When I play back, there is a noticeable difference in volume level. What I have been doing is individually adjusting the volume in Itunes for each ripped CD. It's a tedious process. My question is: would it just be better to use Sound Check? My concern is that, by using Sound Check, there might be a loss in quality in the files. That is, does Itunes normalise the sound to the "lowest common denominator"?
Thanks for any advice.
