After all that, it was a problem with my work network. Since it didn't work either way, I thought the link was dead. From home, it's fine with the exclamation mark. As always, I appreciate everyone's time and help.
Interestingly enough, I have decided to not get so deep into it and just use MediaMonkey's built-in levelling. I found that some of my tracks would no longer play in MediaMonkey or WMP after I foobar'd the replay gain. They play fine in foobar, but it does me no good if they don't in other software. I'm reverting back to a copy of my original, ungained MP3's, and just applying the MM track gain to them. I will probably run the album script mentioned above. Even though it's not the technically correct way to apply album gain, it looks like it'll get the job done - and I'm getting tired of spending too much time troubleshooting my MP3s. It's kind of ironic...a week ago, I was blissful ignorant...and now, after finding MediaMonkey and spending too much time on these forums, I've decided to re-rip all of my CDs losslessly and use MM to transcode down as necessary. I had myself convinced that my MP3s were good enough, but too much A/B between my MP3s and some newly ripped FLACs have pulled me over to the dark side. Great...
Thanks again to everyone that responded!
