By default flac stops decoding with an error and removes the partially decoded file if it encounters a bitstream error. With -F, errors are still printed but flac will continue decoding to completion. Note that errors may cause the decoded audio to be missing some samples or have silent sections.
.TP
\fB--apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless[=<specification>] \fR
Applies ReplayGain values while decoding.
WARNING: THIS IS NOT LOSSLESS. DECODED AUDIO WILL NOT BE IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL WITH THIS OPTION.
The equals sign and <specification> is optional. If omitted, the default is 0aLn1.
The <specification> is a shorthand notation for describing how to apply ReplayGain. All components are optional but order is important. '[]' means 'optional'. '|' means 'or'. '{}' means required. The format is:
[<preamp>][a|t][l|L][n{0|1|2|3}]

\fBpreamp\fR
A floating point number in dB. This is added to the existing gain value.
.TP
\fBa|t\fR
Specify 'a' to use the album gain, or 't' to use the track gain. If tags for the preferred kind (album/track) do not exist but tags for the other (track/album) do, those will be used instead.
.TP
\fBl|L\fR
Specify 'l' to peak-limit the output, so that the ReplayGain peak value is full-scale. Specify 'L' to use a 6dB hard limiter that kicks in when the signal approaches full-scale.
.TP
\fBn{0|1|2|3}\fR
Specify the amount of noise shaping. ReplayGain synthesis happens in floating point; the result is dithered before converting back to integer. This quantization adds noise. Noise shaping tries to move the noise where you won't hear it as much. 0 means no noise shaping, 1 means 'low', 2 means 'medium', 3 means 'high'.
.RE
For example, the default of 0aLn1 means 0dB preamp, use album gain, 6dB hard limit, low noise shaping.
--apply-replaygain-which-is-not-lossless=3 means 3dB preamp, use album gain, no limiting, no noise shaping.
flac uses the ReplayGain tags for the calculation. If a stream does not have the required tags or they can't be parsed, decoding will continue with a warning, and no ReplayGain is applied to that stream.
