ReplayGain and mp3's

[paulM]

I am a lover of playing very large playlists on random selection and consequently love the ReplayGain function. I have however, noticed that it does not appear to work for me on mp3's. The vast majority of my collection is flac, so it doesn't happen very often, but when an mp3 is selected, it is always much louder than the flac's.

I have applied the ReplayGain settings to all of my mp3's using dbPowerAmp, so I know that the settings are in the metadata, but they don't seem to work.

Is there an issue with mp3's and ReplayGain, or is it a setup mistake that I am making?
