Feature Request: Replaygain support in songbird
I would really like to see replaygain support built into songbird. I have an extensive library of music on my hdds and of course everything in different formats - sometimes lossless, sometimes lossy. I used to prefer mp3, but in the last couple of years I have started to lean more and more towards ogg/vorbis. All these tracks are of course varying in signal strengths and it's annoying to have to constantly wiggle your volume button whenever a new track is played. Some formats (mp3, any more?) do actually allow you to adjust sound levels losslessly, but personally I prefer the foobar2000 way of storing this kind of information in REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN, etc tags. This way you don't have to alter any of the actual sound data, and to restore the files you can simply drop the tags.
Surprisingly few players actually support replaygain, and when they do they tend to support it in different ways. Some support it via the special id3v2 gain tag, and some support it via apev2 tags. I can always rescan my files to fit whatever scheme songbird would choose, but ideally it would make more sense to use id3v2 for mp3 and vorbiscomments for ogg/vorbis etc.
Are there any plans to add replaygain support? And you people out there who, like me also wants to see it, please make your voice heard. Thanks.
