Full Version: what is ReplayGain?
That option adds Replay Gain tags to the FLAC files which is recognized by some players so they can adjust the volume. If you want to know more about what Replay Gain is, there is information about it in the HA wiki (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Replaygain)

Completely unrelated, but when did "Google" become a verb?

At least as far back as 2001, according to Merriam-Webster Online.

Use Google.
QUOTE(Me being off topic)
Google does not want to have its name become a verb. If people use google as a generic term for search (no actual specification to using Google to search), then anyone can use the word google instead of using the word search, thus Google losing its trademark. For instance, you could see google.msn.com and that would be the searching site for MSN. Look at terms like "xerox", "kleenex", and "chap stick". Once they were brand names but they were used so often that they became the product they were and no one cared about the brand itself. Now anyone can call copying something "xerox that", or call paper "xerox paper"; you can buy some off brand lip balm and it all is called "chap stick". I can't think of other brands of kleenex... I hope this was clear, I was going off of what I remembered in my organizational psychology class I took a couple years ago and this was discussed. However, this conundrum of popularity is outlined on a few sites if you care to check it out:

No idea...

They might not want it, but they cannot stop it. It will reach a point then be tested in court (by google suing another company who are using the term, then it is decided if google has become a generic term for searches).
