you can guess this is not audiophile central, a cheap, quite old "3 in 1"
sound system, one speaker one end of the shop, another in the middle of the
shop.

LOL don't tear your hair out, bro :-)
My suggestion:
1. Go find someone with a PC, install "foobar2000" music player, load all
your tracks, and let it apply Replaygain
2. Go to the Android Mark... uh, Google Play Store, and search for
"replaygain". There are several music players that will honor replaygain
tags. Some of them are free.
Rgds,
