Replaygain quick 101: 1) using something like Foobar will calculate the correct RG tags to achieve an RMS "loudness" of 89dB for each album. Separate tags are written (in each track) for the track on its own and for the album as a set of tracks. 2) Using the "SmartGain" option in SBS allows albums to play back with the correct relative loudness between tracks AND for random tracks across albums to play at equivalent loudness 3) Using Foobar to scan whole albums at a time avoids any "clipping" - track peaks are scanned and the "album gain" for each track is set accordingly 4) the RG tags are interpreted by SBS but applied in the player before the volume control settings are applied. RG has no knowledge of the volume settings. There is no need to dither as there is no change in bit-depth connected to RG itself and no complex DSP is involved. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
