mani.de Releases iVolume 3.5

mani.de has announced iVolume 3.5, an update to their incredibly popular Replay Gain aware volume controller for Mac OS X and Windows. By taking advantage of Apple's core technologies, iVolume ensures that all songs play at the same volume level. It calculates the volume perceived by the human ear for each song of a iTunes music collection, and adjusts them accordingly.

Designed from the ground up to be compatible with a digital lifestyle, iVolume sports a modern, clear, easy-to-use interface and a perfect compliment to Apple's iLife suite. It integrates seamlessly with iTunes on Mac and PC, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, FrontRow and AirTunes. iVolume is blazingly fast and highly configurable, allowing users to create groups to apply individual fine tuned settings to any specified subset of their songs. Most popular audio file formats, such as MP3, M4A/AAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless are supported.

Version 3.5 now offers full Snow Leopard support, regains compatibility with iTunes 9, and minor issues fixed. Additionally, the 'No iTunNORM Tag' issue has been completely resolved as well as fixes other 'File Not Found' errors. iVolume offers overall performance and stability enhancements and "feels" like a brand new application.


Version 3.5 offers many under-the-hood improvements:
* Compatibility: iVolume now fully supports iTunes 9 and Snow Leopard
* Good bye "No iTunNORM Tag"
* Reliability: Other errors like "File Not Found" are also reduced to a minimum
* Performance: Overall performance and stability enhancements
* Maintenance: Various other improvements and bug-fixes under the hood

iVolume remembers all results that were calculated over history. Users may easily apply changed adjustment settings without the need to re-analyze a song list. And by using a sophisticated album detection algorithm, iVolume optionally adjusts albums as a whole to keep the intent of the artist. This method is particularly suitable for adjusting gapless live albums.

Feature Highlights:
* Perfect for Genius Mixes in iTunes
* Sophisticated Album Detection Algorithm
* Integrates seamlessly with iTunes on Mac and PC, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, FrontRow and AirTunes
* Supports most popular audio file formats
* Highly Configurable
* Blazingly Fast

iVolume replaces iTunes' Sound Check feature with a value computed using the more advanced Replay Gain algorithm. Because Replay Gain ignores the very highest peaks, it is not fooled by the difference between older and newer style CD mastering, resulting in songs sounding equally loud.


Language Support:
* U.S. English, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Dutch

Pricing and Availability:
iVolume 3.5 is only $29.95 (USD) and is available as a full featured download. Version 3.5 is a recommended and free update for customers. The unregistered version displays a dialog from time to time, so it cannot run unwatched over the complete iTunes library until registered.
