>From the beginning of CD's it has always been that there is a volume identifier at the beginning of the disk. This identifier set the playback level for the disk. If you ever think its not true get two pressings of a cd from Europe and North America and play them back to back. (ie: The Cream of Eric Clapton) All the RG tags are higher on the West German pressing than the American pressing. Back in the day of records you could only make the recording X loud or the needle would skip out of the track. That and there was no such thing as playlists which we have now where you could pick up huge volume differences from track to track.
All replay gain does is set the volume level for each track so you don't have to, and no it doesn't ignore some of the digital stream to do that. -- tedfroop "Good judgement is the result of experience ...
