[Feature request]Please let me turn off normalisation & crossfade!

@Nekrataal said:
Maybe you can explain a little bit more how to apply it to music libraries so Plex regards it for the current PlexAmp (like a best practice) and hopefully more clients in the future.

The Plex server calculates the ReplayGain values automatically, as soon as you add the tracks into your library.
But currently the only app which is actually able to use them is Plexamp.

Please oh please let users decide if we want normalisation or not, thank you.

Quit/close/end Plexamp
look up the location of the file server.json
(e.g. on Windows, it is in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Plexamp\Plexamp )

insert this section into it (if there is not already an audio section)

  "audio": {
    "normalize": false,
    "crossfade": false
  },

normalize means ‘loudness leveling’, it is a bit incorrectly named.

side note:
crossfading is already automatically disabled in Plexamp when you play an ‘album’.
the function of loudness leveling is changed, so it treats all tracks of the album with a common gain value (‘Album gain’)
the above instructions are for users who want to disable loudness and crossfading in general

Since this no longer appears to work, is there a solution? Cross-fading tracks are EXTREMELY annoying!

Still working here.

Make sure you didn’t put a comma too many in there or missed a comma. It still must be a valid .json file.
Make sure to use an editor which reads and writes UNIX line feeds.
