AHA!!! I thought (maybe stupidly!) that the /r and /a were used to flag
which type of gain to calculate. It is now clear that these options
force the application of the gain itself. I had never tried it without
one of these options! Thank you very much!

I now have some further questions:
1 - If only setting tags and not changing the data, how should i handle
clipping? Should I use the /c to ignore it or /k to account for it? How
will these options affect playback when using the tag values for
normalisation?
2 - How does metaflac handle clipping? Can't find anything in the help
about this at all.
3 - Both the track and album gain tags are about 0.3dB lower using
mp3gain than using metaflac. Anyone got any idea why this is?

Thanks
Jimmy
