so i'm confused...  did you base RG tags on soundcheck, or soundcheck
tags on RG?  and how did you use mp3tag to translate one to the other?

and yeah, i use track gain too.  i still can't get my head around the
idea of doing multiple albums tracks shuffled using "album gain" and
thinking that was somehow the "audiophile" choice.
