Would be great if I could throw MP3Gain away and use just MC for this purpose. Remember, like Jack said: Will MC19 be able to modify the files so they can play normalized outside of MC?

I asked this question a couple of months ago and for the answer I was referred to another topic. However, I'm sorry to say: I still can't figure out what the answer to my question is. Must be because English is not my native language - sorry for that.
So let me rephrase my question, it's actually a simple one:
If I use MC's new analyze-tool for all my mp3's, will these files have the same volume outside of MC (for instance in my car)? If yes, that would be great - then I can throw good old MP3Gain away.

No. Since MC does not alter the physical makeup of the MP3 file.
Whether using the older ReplayGain with v18 or prior - OR the new system within v19 - the end result is the same - MC writes it's volume/level data to tags within the files themselves. That tag data can then be picked up by apps (or devices) that can handle ReplayGain or similar - but if you car has no ability to interpret these tags - then the file will playback as originally rendered.
Hope that helps.

Thanks VP. I guess I am stuck to MP3Gain, because in my car I play the mp3's from USB-stick and the player itself is not that fancy. Bummer..

When writing your files to a handheld device (MP3 player or USB stick), you can tell JRiver to "apply DSP" to the file (including volume leveling). So if your goal is to modify the files that you write to a portable device to all be roughly the same volume, you can do that with JRiver (I just did it myself over the weekend for a long car trip). It's just not part of the normal file analysis process (to avoid altering the files).

That's right. Completely forgot about that!
