You should never make irreversable normalisation changes to your music files. You should always just set the tags. You can then choose to use these (or not) per player. For instance I use ReplayaGain on my Boom but not on my Transporter.
I have just used the (highly recommended and free) Foobar2000 to add ReplayGain tags to my whole library (23k flac tracks). It worked very well indeed. I virtually just opened my whole library in it, selected all tracks, right clicked and selected Replaygain/Scan Selection as Album (by tags). I say *virtually* as I had to use a different method for my Various Artist (compilation) albums as Foobar2000 won't recognise them as albums if each track has a different artist tag. For compilation albums I used the Scan Selection as Albums (by folder) option. (You can add this menu item to the ReplayGain menu via Preferences/Display/Context Menu. I also changed the ReplayGain preferences so that it operated in quiet mode and didn't show warnings (I could see them when it had finished) - in Preferences/Advanced/ReplayGain Scanner. Choosing these two settings meant I could leave Foobar running to do my whole collection (which took three days!). All my albums are kept in their own directories and Various Artist albums are kept seperately from non-compilation albus. One thing that you should be aware of is that Foobar2000 does not actually write the tags to any of the the files until it has completely finished scanning the files you've selected. This foxed me at first.
