normalize-audio is not suitable for lossy files as it needs to
uncompress then recompress the file causing quality loss.
As I mentioned earlier, DeaDBeeF with the 2 plugins works well and is
very similar to Foobar2000. It's not in Debian repos but the .deb on the
website works perfectly.
mp3gain has been dropped from Debian (still available from Wheezy repo),
but python-rgain is its replacement.
My favourite tool for replaygain is SoundKonverter which can process any
number of files in one set, but may need a few KDE dependencies. It also
depends on mp3gain but works if you manually install the Wheezy version.

vorbisgain - add replaygain volume tags to Ogg Vorbis

normalize-audio - adjusts the volume of WAV, MP3 and OGG files to a
standard volumne level. I think this would change the actual level of
the file, not set a replay gain value. But, of course, then the sound
level would be the same in any audio player.

Hi,
I thank you all very much for tips and hints.
I have found Clementine is a very nice player where works fine cross
fading and replay gain and I can easily handle my playlists (xspf).
I have also tried to create replay gain values with foobar2000 and
finally Clementine played the music well.
Remains a QUESTION:
is there a good tool on Linux to replace Foobar2000 for getting the
replay gain values?
I have a windows box too but I want to do the whole job on my Linux
device.
Many thanks for any idea.
Gerald
