After alot of searching, it's clear that there isn't any program that will physically change an Ogg Vorbis file to apply ReplayGain settings like MP3Gain does. Because of this, there's only one way to do this.


First, you have to convert the Ogg into an mp3.

You then have to run MP3Gain on the mp3 file and set it to the decible level you want.

You then need to right click on that mp3 file in the MP3Gain viewer (or use select all if you're changing the decible level on more than one mp3), and click on "Remove tags from files".

Then use your favorite Ogg Vorbis encoder to convert the mp3 back into an Ogg Vorbis file.

The point of putting this out is because not all DAP's that support Ogg Vorbis playback support ReplayGain tags. This is a solution to that problem.

I wouldn't call that a solution at all.

You'd be better off transcoding ogg vorbis > lossless > ogg vorbis

and using wavegain or flac's equivalent. But then you'd be better off not transcoding in the first place. Re-rip to a lossless format, replaygain in foobar, then use it's diskwriter to convert to ogg vorbis using the gain values.

Use wavgain prior to encoding.

I'm not to happy either, but then again, there's a fair amount of people with the coding knowledge to make a program to physically alter the Ogg file instead of having to use tags.

There doesn't seem to be support for WaveGain with EAC.

Which doesn't make it any less the best solution.

If you must use WavGain as part of your ripping/EAC process then use an intermediary application like MAREO OR REACT to perform the WavGain and Ogg encode at the same time (well, in serial).

I think "fair amount" is a bit overstated. Anyhow, those guys also need the time and the motivation to do it. Given the "unsexiness" of Vorbis im terms of support for those post-processing tricks I can imagine quite well why no one's felt the urge to code something like that.

If I knew how to code, I would.
