+--- Thread: [How to do instruction] Using replay gain as preamp in moode? (/showthread.php?tid=708)
Using replay gain as preamp in moode? - entertainme - 11-22-2018
Foobar2000 has a preamp function that utilizes replay gain to adjust volume levels. (Foobar preferences -> playback)
Is such a feature available for moode, or MPD, too?
Many thanks!

Yes, its an available setting in MPD
https://github.com/andrewrk/mpd/blob/master/doc/mpdconf.example
But not exposed in moOde MPD Config screen.
I'll add to TODO list.

That would be great, thank you!
In the meantime, can I change the setting and MPD to use the feature or is this not possible? MPD is pretty new to me.

Just keep in mind that being on the TODO list does guarantee it will be implemented soon because features compete with one another for developer time, and they compete with bug fixes, new hardware etc.
Yes, you can manually edit /etc/mpd.conf and add the setting, however this file will be overwritten anytime you press APPLY on the MPD Config screen.
sudo nano /etc/mpd.conf
sudo systemctl restart mpd

Works, great! Many thanks!
For everybody else who wants to use the setting you need to add:
replaygain_preamp "X"
to mpd/conf and safe and restart. Replace X with a value between -15 and +15 to change volume in db.
Shutting down and restarting doesn't change the setting.
