Something to Gain and Nothing to Lossless
17 Aug 2006
I have my MediaBox (linux box running KnoppMyth) serving up all our music using MT-DAAPD or NFS automounts depending on the device for three years now. I have converted all of our CD’s to mp3’s which by far is the most universal format. One of the problems we had at first was constantly getting up and adjusting the volume. Until I found MacMP3Gain and converted/normalized all of our music to the same volume.
MacMP3Gain is an AppleScript Studio application which brings an Aqua GUI to the command line version of mp3gain, a utility that performs statistical analysis to determine how loud the MP3 file actually sounds to the human ear and performs lossless volume adjustments. MacMP3Gain is free and open source. You may download either the application itself or the entire project including the source code.
