[Replay Gain Album Tag does not show up / is not used]

I can confirm that with the new build 956, the album version of the replay gain tag in uppercase is now accepted by Poweramp.

Thanks a lot!

What version are you running of beets? It looks like the "fix" was added in version 1.3.2 which is already way old.

I am running the latest version of beets within a docker container. It's odd why only upper-case ReplayGain tags are written with beets when it should be different. I have made an inquiry about this with the developers of beets.

Replay gain tags in form of replaygain_album_gain-like tags are case-insensitive for most formats. Still for some formats it may be case sensitive. I'll try to test your tracks (can you please re-share them - thanks!), and fix the issue if possible.

I made those files with upper-case ReplyGain tags available again:

thanks! This will be fixed in the next beta builds.

That's great! Thank you very much!

After several tests I can confirm:
Poweramp only understands lower-case ReplayGain tags for album ReplayGain.

Apparently beets (the tool I use to organize my music) is supposed to write upper-case and lower-case ReplayGain tags. But it doesn't in my case. For me only upper-case ReplayGain tags were created.

To work around the problem, I made the ReplayGain tags in my library all lower-case (with the help of Mp3tag).

As recommended above, it would be better for Poweramp to understand the ReplayGain tags regardless of upper/lower case. Maybe this can be included in a future release?

I use 'beets' to keep my tags in order.
In the current changelog I find this entry from 1.3.2 (December 22, 2013):

When writing ID3 tags for ReplayGain normalization, tags are written with both upper-case and lower-case TXXX frame descriptions. Previous versions of beets used only the upper-case style, which seems to be more standard, but some players (namely, Quod Libet and foobar2000) seem to only use lower-case names.

That was a while ago. But maybe I now have tags in upper-case and lower-case, while Poweramp only accepts lower-case.
Any idea what tool I can use to view the tags byte by byte in the original? Hex editor?

That does seem odd. And re-applying the ReplayGain data via foobar, and then performing a FULL Rescan in Poweramp, does not detect the missing Album RG tags?

I have selectively replaced entire albums, but that didn't help. There is one exception: The file "04 - Cisne.mp3" (EUS) showed only the track tag. I forced Replay Gain again, replaced all files of the album, then this one file also had the Replay Album Tag. But the other files in the album did not.

Yes, if you could temporarily upload some samples that would help - any file sharing site such as Google Drive or Dropbox should be fine.

Poweramp build number: build-939-bundle-play [939004-333c8a71]
Device: Google Pixel 6 Pro
Android Version: 13 [TP1A.220905.004]
Custom Rom? No

I switched to a new smartphone. With the new one I don't see the replay gain album tag in the track info anymore. I also hear when playing albums the volume changes from track to track.

My music is properly tagged. I checked my tracks with Foobar and Mp3tag. Both show the entries for track and album. But in Poweramp I only see the track entries. The album tags are not read or ignored.
With one exception: Track '04 - Cisne' by EUS does show the replay gain album tag entry. But '02 - Lidea' from the same album on the other hand does not.

This is really strange. Scanning the library again did not help. An overwrite of the MP3 with forced re-generated replay gain tags also did not help.
I did not have this problem on my previous smartphone (Xiaomi Mi A3).

Attached are screenshots from my smartphone. I can send the corresponding mp3 files by mail. Which mail adress should I use?

[Requests for Hi-Res Support (please state which build of Poweramp you are using)]

I have got a new Smartphone: Xiaomi Mi A3

Unfortunately OpenSL ES Hi-Res does not work on this device. Poweramp can play MP3s neither via Bluetooth nor via jack plugs. The playback just hangs. No Error message. OpenSL ES does work.

Device: Xiaomi Mi A3
Modelname: M1906F9SH
OS: Stock Android One, Android 9, Build PKQ1.190416.001.V10.3.5.0.PFQEUXM

Poweramp Build: 840-841

I would be really happy if HiRes could also be implemented on this device.
