Well, I don't know. :) When I thought about "real" ReplayGain support for MP3, I had a look at how Foobar2000 (0.9 beta) wrote ID3V2 tags for it, and that's when I found the text tags (in TXXX frames). At the time, I didn't notice if there was an RGAD tag, but I'm not sure if it was there or not. Later I switched back to Foobar2000, and that's when I noticed the RGAD tag. I searched a little for it, but didn't find any useful information on the contents of the frame (only one dead link). What I did find was that some versions of the Foobar2000 0.8 ID3V2 plugin, and one other player (don't remember which) supported it. If someone has Foobar2000 0.9 installed, please let me know if the RGAD frame is still created (I can't be bothered to install it just to check that... :). > I would need that part which parses binary replaygain info to implement > replaygain on WAV files too, so if id3v2 should use it also then that > binary parsing function should be done in replaygain.c I guess. Where would the tag be stored for wavs? But extracting the values from the RGAD frame and converting them to something usable for replaygain.c should be easy enough... (And I'll soon commit something that should make it a little bit easier :).
