I have a question about transfering replaygain data from flac files to AAC files made from the flac files.
The replay gain data that was determined for the flac files was transferred to the AAC data. Is this replay gain data accurate? I ask because I notice that the peak gain for flac files is around 1, whereas for the aac files (when I determine the replay gain on a fresh aac file) it is around 1.24. I will do replay gain twice (once on flac once on aac) if that's what it takes to get it right, but I don't want to if I don't have to. So would the replaygain data from the flac files not be correct for the AAC files?

Its fairly close, but not exactly the same. Theres some rounding involved in encoding which will change the loudness slightly. Also any DSPs you've applied to the diskwriter (like replaygain) can also change the gain value.

Replaygaining the FLAC and the AAC files seperately indeed would be the right way to go.
