[PROBLEM] Correct way to play all audio files at a uniform volume

[Mattt]

Replay Gain does not compress the dynamic range of songs it is applied to. 

I did not say that.

Apologies, my mistake

If most of your music is random songs use the Track setting.

With ReplayGain = Track, I have the problem that when I listen to an entire album with songs that vary greatly in volume, the songs that are actually quiet are played much too loudly.

OK I have re-read your original post (early in the morning here, needed coffee  )
You want track ReplayGain to be applied without using the random function? 


In addition, songs without ReplayGain (which is the case with many of the FLACs) would usually be played much louder than the MP3 tracks.



What I am looking for is basically the "Volume normalization" function. However, not within a song, but related to the whole song and only if it is not a complete album that is to be played.
In other words, a kind of "intelligent automatic ReplayGain"

OK I have re-read your original post (early in the morning here, needed coffee  )

You want track ReplayGain to be applied without using the random function because you want control over the order the songs are played?
So if ReplayGain=Track could be turned on when using playlists would that solve your issue?
