Thanks Erwin for your reply!
First of all, if I do volume leveling a sjngle track or all of them and synchronizing the tracks with MMA, the infotainment (Skoda Amundsen, MIB3) or better Android Auto does not care about any adjustment to the volume. This has been conformed by the programmers of MediaMonkey. This means, since MMA integrates with Android Auto, I would like to use it and not connect MMA via blueetooth. This does not make any sense to me and is less convenient at the end.
As written above, even if I set up volume leveling in the device profile, which I assume this would modify each file instead of writing an MP3 attribute to the file, did not help either.
On the other hand, after modifying the test file externally, I've added it to the MM database, it wasn't there before, hence no need to rescan or similar. The database should already knew about the modified volume level by MP3gain, which was about 74dB.
IMO, MMW should now modify, the file before transferring it to the target device, since I've told MMW to do so in the device profile. unfortunately the volume level of the target file is still 74 dB, I expected about 100 dB.
As a conclusion, volume levelling does not work.
Edit: according to this Wiki page
https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... veling/5.0 volume leveling should permanently modify a file to get a consistent volume level on any device. And exactly this is not the case. At least not when setting this option in device profile while synchronizing any tracks to the smartphone for example.
