Replaygain

I just started to use (and like!) foobar, so bear with me if this has been answered already although my search wasn't successful.
I wonder how foobar's replaygain-scanner works. After scanning my files I can see that replaygain information is stored somewhere in the mp3s:
Code: [Select]
replaygain_track_gain = -5.56 dB
replaygain_track_peak = 0.776065
replaygain_album_gain = -5.49 dB
replaygain_album_peak = 1.060684

But when I display the files' tags using case's "tag.exe", there's just my id3 tags. Until now I used to use "mp3gain", which stores those metadata in ape tags.

Now what does foobar actually do?
Just store the metadata above or modify the mp3s volume like mp3gain does?

Stores it in internal database and tags. Which tags depends on settings.

MP3 (internal) volume is not altered.

Is there more information about that?
E.g. depends on what settings?

Thanks

depends on your tag-writing settings in the preferences:
If apeV2 has prioritiy, then its written to ape-tags
If id3V2 has priority, then its written to id3v2 tags
if non of the above, then i guess(not sure) the database is used.

However, the above settings only affect mp3s. With other filetypes, it may be different(for example OGG-Containers have their own native tag-format, which foobar then uses to write rg-info).
I am arrogant and I can afford it because I deliver.
