Well it has what is called in the FAQ a ID3v2 writer compatibility
mode:
foobar2000 writes ID3v2.4 tags encoded as UTF-8 by default. To deal
with broken software/hardware with partial support of the ID3v2
standard, an ID3v2 writer compatibility mode has been added
('Preferences → Advanced → Tagging → MP3 →
ID3v2 writer compatibility mode'); it results in non-standard-compliant
tags being written (ID3v2.3 instead of ID3v2.4, UTF-16, no
unsynchronization, no padding), but attempts to dodge known bugs in
other ID3v2 implementations.
I have now changed to using that, but still it seems that I don't see
the ReplayGain tags in dbpoweramp, but that doesn't matter so much, I
can view them all in TagsRevisited and SC can read them and use them.

Re: [slim] Invaluable Windows gadget for audio libraries
I'm glad that when I started to rip my cd's I decided to use dbPoweramp. After looking at several secure options, dbPoweramp seemed the best choice (speed being a main factor). And version 13 only has got better. Just for kicks, I tried the new batch converter: I wish it was there when I started ripping. Marvelous.

I don't seem to get all that info when I installed the program (v.13). Here is an example of what I got on a file where I have used Foobar to embed ReplayGain into. I do see the Volume Adjustment value and the Album volume adjustment value in SqueezeCenter when I look at this specific track, but that into is just not shown in the Explorer view for some reason.

Thanks for the tip Jim! I some time ago lost whatever program I had that showed tags in Explorer so this tip was useful! Can one tweak it to show for example replaygain info also and other things included in the tags ?

dbpoweramp Windows Explorer Pop-up Information I don't use dbpoweramp for either ripping or music transcoding, but I have it installed nonetheless. The only reason is for the Windows Explorer Pop-up Information. Just mouseover a file in Windows Explorer to read all the tags, nicely laid out and formatted. I've been using it for years and it keeps getting a little better with each release of dbpoweramp. It's great for esily viewing your tags in audio files, and a lot more convenient than having to load up the files in a tagging program. If you install it, see the dbpoweramp Configuration > Music Converter > Enable Pop-up Information Tips > Advanced page for customizing the output. Make sure you install the appropriate codec package for each of the music file formats whose tags you'd like to view in Windows Explorer.
