Resurrecting an old thread to bring a new version of XLD to the attention of Mac users. Version 20191004 has a new command line option to add replaygain tags to CUE files. Back in April this year the author added this feature in response to a feature request I made following this thread. He added the feature within a couple of days and he let me have a test build, which worked perfectly on my entire collection. It's taken him until now to incorporate this feature into a new release. I fully recommend XLD - a great full-featured ripper, supported by a very responsive author.
