I haven't used this (yet), but it IS real. Replaygain requires something similar to tagging to be done, which then evaluates all the files on an album, and creates a couple of parameters, which I believe are added to the song files as tags. There is an album gain and a track gain (I believe). Squeezecenter then has a feature in the settings to choose how replaygain is used. I believe there is a "smartgain" setting which allows squeezecenter to choose the appropriate logic. The album gain is based on the average level of the tracks on an album, and the gain on the whole album is then adjusted by this amount. This allows the track-to-track variations on an album to be maintained. If, however, you are playing a mixture of tracks from multiple albums, it would use the individual gains for each track to make all the tracks play at about the same level. Again, I haven't actually implemented this (yet) on my setup, but that's one of the next things I plan to do (and as a result, some of the information in this post may not be completely accurate).
