This made me curious, so I converted a WAV to MP3 using standard settings. No normalizing. The log looks like this:
Quote:
lxp_lame.exe --nohist -q 2 -V 1 --tt "The Jam" --tc "Kodiert mit LameXP" --tn 1 "D:\The Jam.wav" "D:\The Jam.mp3"

LAME 3.100 64bits (http://lame.sf.net)
CPU features: SSE (ASM used), SSE2
Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 19383 Hz - 19916 Hz
Encoding D:\The Jam.wav to D:\The Jam.mp3
Encoding as 44.1 kHz j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III VBR(q=1)
Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA
Writing LAME Tag...done
ReplayGain: -4.9dB

Exited with code: 0x0000
So Lame obviously writes a ReplayGain tag by default. My TagScanner software just does not see this tag (maybe the version is too old). Since I do not use any player software which honors this tag I never had any problems with it. But there is a command line switch in Lame.exe which disables calculation of the ReplayGain value, maybe adding "--noreplaygain" to the custom MP3 parameters in LameXP will fix it for you.
