I'm trying to get good replaygain support in QCD. I know of 2 QCD-compatible plugins for replaygain: the xcopy plugin, which has MP3gain support, and the WinAMP 2.x replaygain DSP plugin. The problem is that AFAIK none of them directly supports album mode replaygain calculation.
One idea I had is to use Foobar for the calculations, and then export that data into something usable by the DSP plugin. (I'm not big on fb as a player, but wouldn't mind using it as a utility) I was thinking Tag (or some derivative) might be able to handle this. It would go something like this: Foobar rg calc -> Apev2 tags for the data -> Tag to extract the data, whip it around a bit into the format used by the rg dsp plug -> out to a txt file -> copy & paste by me into my replaygains.csv file. Setup the rg plug so that it applies rg values that have already been calculated (and stored in replaygains.csv) but doesn't calculate new values, and enjoy! Or so the theory goes... My poor Tag/scripting skills just ain't 1337 enough for the job.
Does anyone think this is possible/plausible? Anyone think they could knock together a small app/script to handle this? Anyone have a better idea? Anyone think I'm completely nuts?
