Apply Replaygain in Play Queue View

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which version of Cantata?
>> 1.5.1

Which build? KDE, Qt4, Qt5, Windows, Ubuntu, Mac?
QT5

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add Music from library to your play queue
2. Select some files, e.g. a few albums
3. Right click the selection

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would love to see a "Replaygain" entry in the pop-up menu, if all selected 
files are local files (no streams). Actually, I need to find these albums in 
the library (Artist or Album view) in order to calculate and apply Replaygain.

Please provide any additional information below.
The feature would make things much easier. The albums in my play queue are all 
tagged perfectly, grouping VA albums by Album Artist Tag. Hence, I could apply 
Album gain perfectly to all these files. 

Thank you for cantata :)

Not sure I see the need for it in the play queue. What is wrong with just 
finding the album in the artists, or albums, view?

I would need to find each album (one at a time), and add replaygain for each 
album individually. I don't want to add replaygain for all albums in library at 
once, because some files (mostly samplers) are not well tagged yet, resulting 
in wrong album gain. The files in my play queue are all tagged fine, so I could 
 add replaygain for all these albums with one click. 

It would be a very useful feature (at least for me :)).

PS: Sorry for mistakenly tagging the issue as "Defect". Actually, it's a 
feature request.

But in order to calculate album gain, etc, the tracks need to be grouped by 
AlbumArtist+Album - and Cantata uses the tags to do this. So, I don't think its 
going to work from the playqueue anyway.

Also, you can select different albums using Shift+Click, and then call the 
ReplayGain dialog.

As stated, albums ideally need to be grouped to perform replaygain - and they 
are always grouped in artists/albums view. Therefore, it is best accessed from 
there.
