Replay Gain analysis without file conversion?

[drooly]

Is there a way to accomplish just Replay gain analysis and get the results into the mp3 tag without doing a file conversion? I have piles of mp3's that I would like to process without re-encoding them. I'm using DBPoweramp Reference v12.3. Awesome product, BTW!

Get the ReplayGain utility codec in Codec Central.

It says "requires player to read ReplayGain tags" - Will Winamp read them, or does it imply it must the the DBPoweramp player?

It means the player you are using must support reading ReplayGain tags. And I don't think the dBpoweramp Audio Player supports reading ReplayGain tags, actually.

Just what I was looking for - I didn't realize even after studying the website that the Utility ReplayGain codec has different applications than the DSP ReplayGain codec - thanks Lt Data!

They do the same thing, but the DSP effect requires a conversion while the utility codec does not. Note that the "ID Tag Update" also is a DSP effect and utility codec.
