This plugin needs separate external executables to be run to calculate the replay gains.You need to download these executables and then configure the ReplayGain plugin inOptions / Plugins / ReplayGain with the path and filename of the executable. As executables, they are probably best stored in a directory which is normally read-only for normal usersand requires administrative write access to store the executable (e.g. the Picard executable directory),but you can store them in the plugins directory if you wish. Whilst this version works, it has some issues:
Windows
You may also have some success using the Chocolatey package manager for aacgain, flac and wavpack. Linux

There are basically four main methods used to retrieve album information from the MusicBrainz database.
This is the preferred method of automatically identifying the album to retrieve, andshould be used when you have the CD available. Typically this would be used right after ripping theaudio files from the CD. When initiated, the table of contents (toc) is read from the CD and a requestis sent to MusicBrainz to return a list of the releases that match the toc. If there are any matches,then they will be listed for you to select the one to use. If there are no matches or none of thematches are correct, you can search the database manually for the matching album, and are given theoption of attaching the toc from your CD to the selected release for future lookup.
If you don’t have the CD available, and your files are grouped by album, this is the preferred method ofautomatically identifying the album to retrieve. This is done by grouping the files into album clusters inPicard and then perform the lookup. Picard will try to match the entire set of clustered files to the samerelease.

Musicbrainz Picard Review
If your files are not grouped into albums and you don’t have the CD available, this is the only remaining method ofautomatically identifying the album to retrieve. This is done by scanning the files to obtain their AcoustIDfingerprints and then perform the lookup for the individual files by fingerprint. The album(s) matching the fileswill show up in the right-hand pane based on a “best match” using the Preferred Releases settings in the Metadata options.
If none of the automated methods are available, or don’t produce the desired results, you have the option of retrievingthe album information by having Picard initiate a search on the MusicBrainz website using your web browser. There are twomethods of initiating this search. The first method searches based on the tag information from the selected files.
Musicbrainz Picard 1.4.2 Download
The second browser search method uses manually entered information as the search criterion.
