Sorry Geoff,
Not sure why yours recalculated all albums. I will check as there may
be a foobar2000 setting that controls this behaviour (but will only be
able to check the weekend as I'm out on business for this week). I'm
100% certain mine only calculates for tracks that don't have RG values

Excellent! Thanks for that bit of info - will save me plenty of time in

If you've added a bunch of tracks to your library just scan your whole

that don't have replaygain yet, so the next time will be quite quick.

Just ripped a couple of new albums.
Went into foobar and selected a playlist of all albums.
Right clicked and selected: Scan selection as albums (by tags).

Thanks for that,
see this old thread where I posted instructions on converting soundcheck

Took a while (5 hours) for foobar to scan my collection and generate the
Album and track gain values. (Only 3200 tracks, though I only have an
old Pentium 4 processor!)
However, inital testing suggests that it has done a good job. I do get
the impression that foobar is a very competent piece of

You want to remove volume adjustment in itunes. This is more of a
manual feature.
You need soundcheck (itunes way of doing what you want). Soundcheck

I have soundcheck enabled in iTunes which is applied after ripping
music. However, I also use iVolume which is a separate application that
updates the iTunes soundcheck tag using the replaygain routines.
Ivolume also has the ability to do album based adjustments like you

If foobar2000 generates both album gain and track gain values, what
option do you choose for the SBS Setting: Volume Adjustment/Replay
Gain in the PlayerAudio tab?
Use the smartgain setting. This way, when you play an entire

I've downloaded foobar2000. Not obvious to me how I should get it to
