I've been experiencing loss of replay gain data stored as tags in my MP3 files and I suspect that this is due to iTunes. I use EAC for ripping, Foobar for day to day audio playback and iTunes only for syncing (and creating playlists) to iPod.
Normally, I rip with EAC, import to Foobar (now automatically done by Foobar), then manually trigger replay gain scan (as tags). After this, I close Foobar, launch iTunes, manually import the folder and manually add the album art.
Often, when I start playing the tracks in Foobar, the replay gain data is gone and I am forced to rescan. Very frustrating.
My guess is iTunes does something to the replay gain data. Does anyone have the experience? Would importing tracks to iTunes prior to Foobar help?
