universal normalization, permanent replaygain for all players Options

[Faust_d]

Hello everyone.
I know this forum for so many years but I'm still a very foobar2000 basic features user (replaygain, masstagging, foo_discogs, that's it)

Now I'd like to pass to a superior speed by using plugins.
I will begin with something simple. I just don't know how to direct my research, that's why I'm consulting your wise knowledge.

I share compilations with friends and I started to make it more "pro" (correctly ordonnated with compatible tags, + self-made cover)
Now i'm fed up to hear "good compil but you're tracks have volumes differences" while I always apply replaygain. ><!
I think people started to say that because I'm more using unreleased low-fi tracks sucked from the internet for which you can't find good recorded/mastered versions.
I tested it, and yes, on players with no replaygain system, it makes difference. (I think about Itune - unfortunatelly the most spread around my friends)

Does it exists foobar plugins to physically add universal compatible permanent replaygain ?
I read about sound check for Itunes, but I tried on a mac and it seems not to be originally present.
Maybe a plugin to re-encode all the tracks will solve the problem ? In that case, what lame mp3 encoding plugin to use ? Do I have to apply big foobar update ?

I hope I clearly express my thoughts, english being not my mothertong language.

Thank you in advance.

Applying ReplayGain permanently is actually just normalising the audio stream to an RG-derived target level before it’s passed to the destination encoder. It’s not the responsibility of said encoder, and you shouldn’t have to use the latest version (although you almost always should, and you didn’t specify which one you are using anyway). Just configure the Converter to apply RG irreversibly, using these sections of its preferences:

or right click track, choose ReplayGain/Apply track ReplayGain to MP3

again note: this permanently changes the audio data and cannot be reverted

Mince! They have eyes but they can't see...
I very sorry, I had a look here and there.
I always see and use this replaygain menu and I totally denied the rest of options.
Topic can be closed.
I don't need to re-encode, because the low global quality of tracks (some of tracks are in 128 kbps)
Anyway, thank you very much !
