Hi!

I'm looking for a software that can batch analyze mp3/aiff/other format audio files for their loudness parameters such as true peak and integrated LUFS and write them to the comment-field of the tags. Does something like this exist? :)

I'm sure you could script something with FFMPEG.

Thanks! But phew, looks like something I don't have time to learn.

It sounds like you're talking about ReplayGain. It's a standard for equal-loudness playback, which relies on scanning the audio files and storing their loudness and (true) peak data in the tags.

Arguably the most common app for ReplayGain-scanning the files and writing the metadata is foobar2000. You can configure it to display those values in a human-friendly format next to each file, if that's what you're looking for.
