| Always on Top |
If this option is checked,
the QMP3Gain window will always stay on top of other windows. |
| Work on Selected files only |
If this option is checked,
then only those files that are currently selected will be operated on if
you do an Analysis or Gain. |
| Add Subfolders |
If checked, then when
you Add a Folder, all of the mp3s
in all of the folders inside the selected folder will be added to the
list. |
| Preserve file date/time |
If checked, changed files
will keep their original timestamp. If
unchecked, file timestamps will change when Gain changes are applied. |
| No check for Layer I or II |
QMP3Gain will only work on mp3 files.
On rare occasions, QMP3Gain will mis-identify an mp3 file as an mp2 or mp1 file and refuse to
do analysis or gain changes on the file.
Enabling this option forces mp3Gain to skip the safety check,
allowing you to change the gain on these mis-identified files.
Be careful, though; if you have any mp2 or mp1 files that are accidentally mis-named as mp3 files,
then when you use QMP3Gain to make gain chages on those files, the program will just corrupt the data
in those files.

| Don't clip when doing Track Gain |
If this is checked, then when you do "Track Gain", if the suggested Track gain will cause clipping then QMP3Gain will apply the maximum non-clipping gain instead |

| Toolbar |
You can modify the look
of the toolbar with this item. Available
options for the toolbar are:
Big Buttons
Small Buttons
Text Buttons
No Buttons |
| Filename Display |
You can select how files
are displayed in the File List. By
default, files are shown with their full path and filename. Available
options for the filename display are:
Show Path/File
Show File only
Show Path & File (as separate columns) |
| Minimize to Tray |
If this option is checked, then when you minimize the QMP3Gain window it will appear as an
icon in the system tray notification area (the little rectangle in the bottom right corner of
your screen) instead of appearing on your taskbar.
Useful for keeping your taskbar clean while QMP3Gain is working in the background. |
| Beep when finished |
If checked, then QMP3Gain will make a default beep sound when it finishes a task. |
| Reset Default Column Widths |
This option will reset
the column positions & sizes to their default settings. Use
this if you accidentally hide a column under another, or off the screen. |
| Resize column widths by content |
This option will resize the visible columns of the file list, that each of them has enough width to display its content without line breaking |
| Reset "Warning" messages |
The first time you perform some actions in QMP3Gain (Clear Analysis, for example),
the program pops up a dialog box with a warning message. On this dialog box, there's
a check box that says Don't ask me again.
If you check that box, the program stops showing that particular warning message.
Clicking Reset "Warning" Messages makes those
warning messages start popping up again. |
| Advanced... |
Advanced options allows
you to modify Thread Priority
and Performance variables, and allows you to turn on "maximizing" features.
| Thread Priority |
This adjusts what priority
the program has in using your computer's resources. If you know what this
means, feel free to play with this setting. If you don't know what this
means, just leave it alone :) If you see this feature disabled, then it is unsupported yet. |
| Performance |
Checking these boxes might make QMP3Gain run slightly faster on your machine. |
| Enable "Maximizing" features |
"Maximizing" is the word to describe what most audio programs call "normalizing":
finding the maximum amplitude of sound files and setting them to a specified level.
This is not a good way to make audio files sound like they're the same volume.
When you check this box, a message pops up with a link to some files that demonstrate the volume differences
that can remain between songs when you maximize the amplitudes of audio files instead of
volume normalizing.

| Extra output log |
Depths of some log output type can be set here.
Back end log depth sets the log's depth of communication with the MP3Gain back end:
- 0 value means there is no back end log at all
- 1 value includes all communication messages except the progress percents
- 2 value includes all communication
Trace log depth sets the log's depth of operation of QMP3Gain, it's mostly for possible bug hunting:
- 0 value means there is no trace log at all
- 1 value includes all trace messages
