ReplayGain is a method of normalising ('levelling') the percieved
volume across files in a collection of MP3's/Flac files etc without
actually changing the music data itself.
The normalisation is done by analysing the file and writing a volume
adjustement level into the comment tags of
mp3gain can also apply the gain directly to the files so that the
playback device does not have to understand the replaygain
standard. If you've chosen this method you probably would want to
turn off replaygain for mp3 files in slimserver so you don't get
the volume adjustment performed twice.
It's been a while since I used my PDA for SlimServer control, but I've

When on the status screen I click the next button and the song

oh yeah, I forgot about that. You can have MP3gain apply normalisation
to the file and this does alter/degrade each file as it decodes,
normalises re-encodes each file
