Hey Anyone,
For the past 2 years I have been using Media Monkey to Organize and play my music collection which is now about 42,000 tracks about 75% of my collection has Replay gain Values....I am making the switch over to Foobar2000 and was about to replay gain the other 25% with it (Foobar) when I discovered that for the same album I was getting 2 different values...and it is making me wonder does Media Monkey use a different algorithm or is there something I am overlooking...both are set to tag by ALBUM with the track value put in there also. Here are my results:  Miles Davis /Jack Johnson Soundtrack/  Trk1 Right Off -FOOBAR--Album Gain -1.97db Trk Gain -2.49db Trk 2 Yesternow-FOOBAR Album Gain -1.97db Trk Gain -0.87db Trk 1 Right Off Media monkey--Album Vol=-7.9db Trk Vol= -8.4db Trk 2 Yesternow Media Monkey--Album Vol= -7.9db Trk Vol= - 6.8db Could someone shed some light on this for me. Thank You |

Assuming you want to have universally compatible replay gain tags I'd recommend to analyze the files for replay gain without having the HDCD component installed in foobar.
IMHO, the only technically correct solution would be to create a system that would analyze and store a set of alternative replaygain tags for HDCD decoding and make HDCD decoder & foobar to use these alternative tags when the files are played.
