cannot show replaygain values in wps
woodensoul:
Do you mean that you can see the values on your WPS or in the ID3 viewer?
I made a feature request a few weeks ago to get the code committed that makes track and album values available for WPS display.

Unfortunately no one has explained why having the replaygain values displayed in the WPS would be useful.

You got me there. I'll have to think about it. I suppose my original justification was to have the additional confirmation that it was working, however that's not really necessary. And although I believe it's a valid argument in many cases, I don't see cool factor holding any weight on this one. I guess you convinced me pabouk. :P
lenny:
I thought of a reason ;D
However, I think there is a better solution.
The one thing missing in the wps right now (replaygain-wise) is the ability to confirm that the file actually has replaygain tags. If you have replaygain set to album gain and you play a song without replaygain tags, the conditional replaygain tag will continue to show whatever you put in the "album gain slot" (%?rg<Off|Track|Album|Shuffle>). The %rt and %ra tags would show either the value of the RG if the tags were present or something along the lines of "No Tag" if there were no tags. So one could do something like this:
%?rg<Off|Track %rt|Album %ra|Shuffle %rt>
That way you would not only know what kind of replaygain is set (which isn't all that important anyway) but also if there was a tag or not.
So right now it's kind of deceptive; there's no indication if there is no replaygain tag. But adding %rt and %ra is not the only option! Here's what I suggest:
%?rg<Off|Track|Album|Shuffle|OnButNoTag>
Any thoughts? Of course one could always implement both and make everybody happy :P

Just my personal opinion:
I can imagine that in the WPS I would like to see just whether the RG is applied at the moment but anyway I prefer simple WPSes and seeing RG values in a separate (tags) screen is fairly sufficient for me.
Other possibilities are understandable but not important for me ;D
