my music collection on my ipod is both mp3 and AAC.
Add a new un-soundchecked mp3 to iTunes, let it scan, then load it up in Foobar. Get Info in foobar.
For example, my new Korn CD has these things in the comment field.
iTunNORM: 000028A5 0000273A 0000730F 000069AD 000186CE 0001119E 00008000 00008000 00002710 00002710
I assume this is the soundcheck data. A way is needed to create these fields via replaygain values.
I think the reason it writes it in the comments field is because when you add new fields to ID3v2 tags it has to rewrite the file and i guess the programmers of itunes found a way around it by just writing it in the comments field.
Now, AAC files on the other hand have a fields called "ITUNNORM" followed by soundcheck stuff.
Looks something like this in foobar
%ITUNNORM% = 000002B9 0000027C 00002278 000019E0 000194BF 00018F16 00006E3D 00006E3E 00018870 00018F16
I have no idea what these numbers mean. But i know where to find them. =P
