ReplayGain support

This is probably the feature RadioDJ needs the most, yes we have AGC, yes we have compressors, but those can't do the job ReplayGain does. Its accuracy is unparalleled in terms of loudness calculation, and it should be the first thing in an effects chain.

Well, it depends on how sophisticated RadioDJ is supposed to be in processing the audio chain. I think RDJ is primarily an automation system tool.  And it does that remarkably well and error free! 

If you're serious about how the audio sounds, then you need to pre-process your music files with the likes of ReplayGain, mp3gain, etc . . . to "normalize" and save the audio levels. Then, run the RadioDJ audio output thru a good audio processor like StereoTool, or Orban Optimod and then in to your encoder.

Why people think RadioDJ should do all these extra things like make breakfast and pour your coffee is beyond me?  :o

+1 for what packzap said  :ok: , indeed the job ReplayGain does is very important. In the last 4 years I edited all my tracks one by one: cutting and levelling them. It's a job you cannot leave to ReplayGain, you should do yourself and I'm quite happy with that.

I'm seeking ReplayGain support as well. I have replaygain information on all my media files. but RadioDJ still plays them at default levels. I'm going to bypass the Omnia.9 AGC and use only ReplayGain normalization.
