Hey Nathan,
The gain issue is troubling. I have long suspected the replay-gain analysis
code of correctness issues but haven't ever dug into it. I think the gain
blast you experienced was a result of replaygain analysis detecting some
gigantic value for the gain. Can you reproduce it with the same tracks you
were playing or was it a one-time thing?
Could you send me your mixxxdb.sqlite file located in ~/.mixxx/ ?
Thanks a lot,
RJ
