I'll try to make these make sense...
I'm using EAC to FLAC, then FB2K for playback.

1. Do I need to apply ReplayGain in FB2K everytime I add new files? Is there a way to make this part of the ripping or importing process? I just did my first replaygain in FB2K and it took a loooong time.

2. An album I ripped plays really quietly. It's classical, but when I turn up my speakers I start getting a lot of fuzz. Is there a way to fix just this album? Would it be done during the ripping process or afterward.

3. Is there a way to collapse albums in FB2K, so each album is displayed and clicking on them expands them to show all the tracks?

Thanks for all the help! Hope these aren't too noob.

For 1 flac.exe has a --replay-gain option that will calculate and store it in the file.

Oh, just opened the FLAC frontend and there's a check mark in the ReplayGain box. Duh. Is that all I have to do to make use of Replay Gain? Simple. Probably why it's there...

foobar2000 has a similar checkbox ("ReplayGain-scan output files as albums") in its Converter Setup dialog.


It's called Album List (menu Library).
