Will tracks as loud as mine be brought down, or other tracks brought up?

Your tracks have been brought down a bit. Most have, to varying degrees. A few have been brought up. One important point, though, is that this replay gain is not written to the mp3 in any other way than the equivalent of a tag. It makes no real change to the sounds stored in the mp3 file. In foobar, you can choose in the settings whether or not you want the program to read and adjust for replay gain information. I'm guessing most media players don't even have this option and so most here will probably have to adjust volume on their own!
