I tested this on a clip+ (3.13) and creative zen (rev cc64d9e), so assuming it’s the same for all devices.

Following setup:
- ReplayGain is configured to “Track if Shuffle” - “Prevent clipping” is set to on/off, does not matter

How to reproduce:
- make a copy of any RG scanned file which has track/album gain and peak tags
- remove the peak tags _only_, leaving gain tags intact

Expected result:
- player should be able to adjust the volume, but not prevent clipping

Actual result:
- player does not apply neither track not album gain.

Files containing only gain tags but not peak tags come from converting lossless → lossy and transferring gain info (since peaks will be different for the lossy file, peak tags are omitted.) With 11db of volume difference on some tracks, it’s impossible to not notice that. I am not sure why applying RG requires peak tags in rockbox, foobar2000 handles peak tag-less files without issue. Any chance to change this behavior to not rely on peak tags?
