Amarok 2.1 - back to the future

[ Thanks to An Anonymous Reader for this link. ]

"Amarok 2.1 now suports replaygain (both track and album mode).

"This is one of my favorites aditions. I used to abuse the replaygain script in the 1.x series, and now this great feature is suported natively by amarok 2.1, using a mix of taglib and other magics.

"Till now amarok can READ replaygain tags for pretty much every audio format you can throw at him. The devs talked a little of ways of adding write support (reading non tagged files and calculating the replaygain) like a plasmoid and such, but for now, amarokers can use the excelent (kde 3) soundKonverter for writing replaygain tags for their collections.

"Hum? Master... What exactly is "replaygain"?"
