I used to be a frequent mp3gain user, I remember the replaygain calculation being extremely slow. I finally bit the bullet and spent couple weeks reconverting all the CDs into flac format. Still have some old scripts using mp3gain - using the exact functionality you describe (lossy modification of the mp3 stream). How would you recommend calculating the replaygain values now to use with your program? I have not looked into rgain yet - is that where you would normally get the replaygain data from? Thank you for your work! -- Andre
