Itunes version of replay gain.  They have to be different you know.  It
adds it as a proprietary comment field ( I can't remember the name right
now).  If you look at the extended tags in mp3tag it will show up as a
comment and the field will contain a bunch of numbers.  It converts to
a value very close to the replay gain value and SC will add these
together. It shouldn't. You should use one or the other. So if you have
a -8 replay gain you will actually be lowering your volume about 16 db's
in playback in SC. Only a problem if you have both and smart gain set. 
It's been a problem for me because I had to give up using soundcheck
with my ipods and they won't use replay gain.  I wanted to use replay
gain at home so I ended up getting rid of the soundcheck tags from all
my albums.  I have not checked to see if this is still true with 7.2.1
but I haven't seen anything in the notes about it being fixed.  It
could be a real problem (actually it is a real problem for ipod users)
if you have a high positive replay gain and having it doubled.
