I have the same album and run all my tracks through MP3Gain too - I do it on a track basis NOT album basis. I encode using Winamp and a VBR setting I would undo the MP3Gain on the track, check that the server sees it OK and then try running the Gain over it again. these are the details for track 1

Be careful when tagging mp3s with foobar. I believe the latest (beta) version has fixed this problem, but the "official" 0.8.3 release will delete your ID3 v2 tags when you apply ReplayGain to mp3 files. Please test it on a small part of your collection before committing. -- Pale Blue Ego ---

Will I see any major differences in behaviour. Will my settings be preserved? 6.2.2 is the bug fixed version of 6.2.1. Don't try 6.5 if you don't want to test the latest, bleeding edge version. If not can I back them up and reapply them after the new installation? Should I uninstall 6.2.1

Have you tried rescanning? SlimServer obviously got the tag wrong and placed the gain as high as it could achieve. Recanning may pick it up and correct it. OT: I see the 65 535 number a lot when computers screw up. For example, my very old printer driver always thinks print jobs are 65 535 pag
