Does FLAC.exe decode support ReplayGain? Options

[Kent Wang]

There doesn't seem to be an option so I'm not sure whether FLAC.exe will automatically interpret ReplayGain tags or not.

Does the new option allow the user to specify a manual gain value (as WaveGain does), or is it limited to reading ReplayGain information stored within the FLAC tags?

you can't specify a manual gain (I guess that could be added) but you can specify a relative adjustment to the existing gain.

Alternately, if no ReplayGain information is already stored in the tags, can the --apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless switch be used in conjunction with an album or radio parameter to perform the desired gain, without storing the newly calculated values within the FLAC tags?

nope. that would require 2 passes over the audio, one to calculate the gain and one to apply it.

All right, but based on this can one specify a relative gain adjustment for files which do not already have an existing gain tag? (That part still seems unclear. If I have FLAC without gain information stored in the tags, but I know what the gain/scale information is from having previously analyzed the WAVs in WaveGain and storing a log, can I say, "I want this much gain applied - don't ask questions!"?)

... and for us non-programmers, is there a downloadable CVS compile with the --apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless switch enabled?
