Here's why it's broken on Windows:
bash (or any other good unix shell) will expand that "*.ogg" to a list of
files in the current directory. command.com/cmd.exe don't do that, so
replaygain sees "*.ogg" as its one argument, and screams.
To get around this bit of braindead behavior, I usually write a perl script
(get a Windows perl from www.activestate.com) to massage over this problem.
