Before you do that, if you use the Recently Played/Added functionality make sure you have backed up your recent folder, just in case changing the content directory resets the statistics.

dBpoweramp is great for the ripping stage but post-rip it's somewhat lacking, so if you're having trouble narrowing down the albums that are missing the album replaygain tags you can add a filter to MinimServer with:

Code:

indexTags: replaygain_album_gain=Missing:MissingRGAlbum
tagValue: replaygain_album_gain.default={'Missing'}

It sounds like you're getting there anyway!

I did get there! My hunch has done the trick for albums that had RG Track and Peak value tags applied by XLD.

I deleted those tags and then used DBpoweramp ID tag converter to add back the Track RG values and to include RG values for Album that had been missing. The RG Album value is now displayed as expected.

I did also try leaving the XLD-derived RG Track and RG Track Peak values in place and only adding an RG Album value with DBpoweramp ID tag converter. That was unsuccessful. I’m not sure why as the version of XLD that I’d used to scan RG values was after it had incorporated by default the same EBU 128 loudness curve with -18 LUFS reference level that DBpoweramp uses.

So, this had nothing to do with Minimserver. It was a tagging issue. I searched the DBpoweramp forum but I couldn’t find a thread which mentioned the same problem I’d had.

Thanks for your advice and support.
