Vorbis - Jan 2002 - ANN: ReplayGain Winamp2 plugin for MP3, FLAC, MOD, etc.

This new ReplayGain feature is cool, but made all my .mp3 and .mod files 
sound so loud, so I wrote a Winamp DSP plugin that:

- If a file is playing that is not known, a ReplayGain value will be 
  calculated while playing.
- If a file is known, the ReplayGain value is applied.

What that means is that my .mp3 files now sound as loud as my .oggs. 

I hacked this thing together very quick, so it's got some killer bugs and 
very little features, but it's workable for me, so I thought I'd
announce
it here to know if this idea isn't crap (so that I might try to fix bugs 
and add features).

So if you like it, let me know.

You can find version 0.1 "deadlock" at

That won't work for .mod or .flac admittedly :)

I don't think you needed to do that.  The Winamp Vorbis plugin has a 
Pre-amp setting which I find set at around 7db makes the volume close to 
other formats.

Cheers,
Ross.
