ReplayGain metadata in MP3s is currently not recognized by Audacious.

History

  • Tracker changed from Feature to Support

ReplayGain certainly is supported for MP3 -- I use it just about every day.

Please attach an example of an MP3 file that isn't working for you.

Yes, you are correct. I was wrong. Both track and album ReplayGain is completely supported for MP3 by Audacious.

Problem was probably that SoundKonverter only added per-track ReplayGain metadata for MP3, which I didn't expect. So, not an Audacious issue.

Okay. Glad you found the issue. I'll go ahead and close this.

There actually is a serious problem with ReplayGain metadata in MP3:

APE ReplayGain metadata in MP3 is not recognized by Audacious if any ID3 tags are present.

This is a big problem because
1. The vast majority MP3 files contain ID3 metadata and
2. Mp3gain writes APE ReplayGain metadata by default, and so does SoundKonverter.

I only could not reproduce the problem in my test because I removed all metadata from the file before reapplying ReplayGain.
