EAR.nu
This recipe will check if your file is suitable for uploading it to Ear.nu, the portal for uploading radio commercials and delivery to broadcasters in the Netherlands.
If a file does not validate, and you have a registered version of Magnetron.APP, the recipe will ask you to try and fix the file.
Please note: various radio stations mention different audio levels in their specs (max peaks at -6dBFS or R128) even though the official manual states the audio level should not exceed -9dBFS peaks. In fact, it seems like Ear is not rejecting any files based on level or loudness and probably just normalising the files. For this recipe we've chosen to follow the official requirements and go for a maximum peaks of -9dBFS.
