Not sure what you mean by that. Are you saying that you no longer use

It's both the player and the server who have to support it.
The server generates replay gain values which then have to be used by

While your files are in Mp3tag, highlight them and press ALT+T to

superceding your edits. (This should cease to be a problem if you stop
