Sonido is the Spanish word for sound. Sonora is the name of a Mexican state but also is a word used more to describe the human voice. A “película sonora” is a talking film. To “sonorizar” would be to voice your opinion (though I think it’s rarely used, at least here in México).

Way to expensive for an app that is basically just an addon to Itunes and can’t even sync to ipOD!

Vox is nice, but I can’t get past the file manager thing. I haven’t messed around with the equalizer much as well. I love Vox’s export options, though.

I’m not sure if the apps mentioned would do what you want. A lot of those are edge cases, especially the NAS stuff. The only one that can actually edit tags is Enqueue, though, so you might mess around with it to see if it meets your criteria.

Hopefully we’ll see it in the future.

I’m not sure if the others use any of Decibel’s code, but it seems unlikely since it looks like Decibel’s not open source. Thanks for sharing.
