Gnupod only supports ReplayGain in the current CVS version (which I
believe is labeled as 0.99.8). The 0.99.7 version released on 27 Aug 2008
does not have support for it.

With the CVS version of gnupod this can all be automated. Gnupod can
already convert FLAC on the fly to mp3. If you can send me a FLAC file
with RG-tag (privately) I can make sure gnupod picks up the ReplayGain
value from the FLAC and stores it in the iTunesDB.
