Proper handling of CUE/Replaygain/Foobar Beta 0.9

Hi,

I've had several Wavpack lossless compressed files, which I converted to a single mp3, with foobar "convert to album images with cue", because it is a gapless symphony and because of the target player.

How to properly replaygain the file? I replaygained the one mp3 with trackgain, but the cue does not know about.

Whats the proper way? Mark the virtual tracks of the cue and apply replaygain as album? Or track gain?

Thanks

1. Load the .cue file.
2. Select all tracks in the album.
3. Right-click > Replaygain > Scan selection as album.

edit: Oh, wait.  I forgot you're trying to gain the single .mp3 for usage on something else.  In that case, you need to do an album gain on all the Wavpack files beforehand, then make sure the diskwriter Replaygain checkbox is ticked.  That way, all of the gain information will be carried over when you do the conversion.

When playing tracks from cue sheets I wished Foobar would use the replaygain information from the file if there is none stored with the cue sheet.
