Thanks Aubuti, I saw your answer after I answered the first one. Thanks for the links I will take a look just out of curiosity as I don't want to keep the files in WAV format. To answer your "why?" question it is because of two reasons (though I might be wrong on both of them): 1. I was under the impression that the replaygain values where handed over to the player (for instance the squeezebox) which would then correct the volume. As far as I know files are streamed in FLAC format directly to the player so I can't imagine the LMS doing the job of converting to WAV, adjusting the volume and converting back to FLAC. 2. Often my children pick up files from the FLAC library and convert to MP3 for playing on their players. Not sure which Flac->MP3 converters take the replaygain tags into acocunt when converting.
