Hi
Just opened for the first time version 3.0 and I found that my ReplayGain plugin was missing. I re-installed it, closed and re-opened Picard and then tried to use it. It tells me that it can’t find “rsgain”:

What should I do to make it work again?
TIA

You need the rsgain command line tool. You can get it from [Releases · complexlogic/rsgain · GitHub](https://github.com/complexlogic/rsgain/releases) . Place it somewhere and configure the path to `rsgain` in the plugin settings.

Thanks - I found it already present in /opt/homebrew/bin/rsgain
Now it works!
