In general, at 100% volume and without ReplayGain (which -decreases-
volume for most of today's music), the Squeezebox should be comparable
in volume to most other sources.

Don't be afraid to run the Squeezebox at 100% volume - anything lower
than that is attenuation.  It's not like its normal operating volume is
25 or something.

If your ripper calls the standard FLAC command-line encoder, just
specify "-replay-gain" to the encoder arguments.  Note: this will apply
track gain only.

Yes.  There's no altering of audio data.

metaflac can do this with the "--add-replay-gain" switch.  So can
foobar and other applications.
