Is just everyone using > foobar2000? > I think you are mixing up mp3gain and replaygain: Replaygain adds special tags to the mp3 files (indicating the loudness), and afaik Rockbox is the only way to play these files properly on a portable device. As you wrote, Foobar2000 is one of the software players that support it on PCs. Mp3gain uses the same algorithm as replaygain to calculate loudness, also writes some tags, but in addition changes the mp3 sound data itself (reversibly and without re-encoding). That means that files treated with mp3gain will play with the correct loudness on all players, including portables without Rockbox.
