ReplayGain track_gain tags not written in flac files

[stevek1006]

I just noticed that when I originally ripped my flac library with DBpoweramp, the track_gain tags were not written. Album_Gain tags were written just fine, by the way. They were written fine on the mp3 files I wrote at the same time using Muiti Encoder. So, I then tried the ReplayGain Codex in dMC, and I still am not getting track_gain tags written. Am I doing something wrong, or is DBpoweramp unable to write track_gain tags to flac? I could always do it with foobar, but I really prefer DBpoweramp and I suspect it should be able to do this. Of course, I have made sure that "Calculate Track Gain" is checked (I even tried to uncheck it, just in case).

How are you checking if they are there? to be 100% sure right click on a flac file >> Edit ID tag.

Thanks, Spoon. Yes, that is how I determined that the track_gain tags were not on the flac files, but were on the mp3s. It is also how I determined that album-gain tags were written to the files. Just to be sure, I also checked in Mp3Tag, and the track_gain tags were not there.

By the way, I first got suspicious that something was up, because SqueezeCenter did not seem to be doing proper track volume normalization on a mix I was listening to.

Spoon,

Sorry, ReplayGain in dMC works fine. I am just an idiot. Somehow in playing around I had it pointed at my lossy files instead of my lossless ones, so of course my flacs were not changed. Sorry, I thought I had checked this. Now I just need to run it on the whole lossless directory and everything will be back in shape.

Thanks for your help and sorry for my carelessness.
