<p>this sounds like you didn't turn on embedding before you analyzed your files.</p>
<p>Please see <a href="https://www.beatunes.com/en/itunes-replay-gain.html">https://www.beatunes.com/en/itunes-replay-gain.html</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Open the beaTunes general preferences and make sure that non-iTunes/Music fields are embedded</li>
<li>(If for some reason you forgot the previous step, also check <em>Force overwriting...</em>)</li>
</ul>
<p>In your case, both checkboxes should be on—then re-run the analysis and things should be fine.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,</p>

You were right that embedding was not turned on in Beatunes. But unfortunately turning that on hasn't helped.</p>
<p>I ran some new analyses with different settings - though all now with the embedding turned on in General Preferences - and I still get different album gains for each file within an album.</p>
<p>You also mentioned, "in your case, both checkboxes should be on". To which checkboxes were you referring?</p>
<p>cheers,<br>

<p>There are two relevant options in the beaTunes general preferences (see attached screenshot):</p>
<ol>
<li>Embedding of non-iTunes fields<br></li>
<li>Force overwriting of fields</li>
</ol>
<p>Both options must be <em>on</em> before analysis, especially if you have analyzed your files with beaTunes before.</p>
<p>If it still does not work with both options on, please let me know!</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

The "Force overwrite..." made the difference.
