I would recommend ReplayGain (wavegain/ mp3gain/vorbisgain/etc) over normalization. Normalization only calculates the average of each track without any thoughts of perceptual hearing, while ReplayGain does take the human ear into the "equation".
The quality will be a lot worse for sure.īut I would be interested in a solution without quality loss too. Well, reencoding an MP3 is a really really bad idea. I believe xmms will do this for you with the normalizing plugin and the mp3 writer plugin. This would ensure that the any tracks ripped at the same bitrate would be normalized to the same SPL. The most thorough fix would be to reencode your MP3 collection so normalize the MP3s at encode time. Location: under a car or on top of a keyboard Which app would be better for this purpose? Or would it even be possible to always set new mp3s to a preexisting setting, rather than having to re-average everything? Instead, I'd like to have a set volume level based on an original average and bring any new CDs to that preexisting level, so that I don't have to re-normalize everything whenever I rip a new CD and a new average is established. This average will become affected as a I buy new CDs to add to my collection. That's probably pretty simple to do, but both applications seem to base their normalization on an average of all the mp3s it's examining at the time. The Sony only reads ID3 v.1.1 tags, which might be relevant, but I'm not sure.Īnyway, I just want to normalize all volumes to the same level. I have ~ 22 GB of 192 kb/s CBR mp3s that I play on an older Sony DC-J01 mp3 CD player and on an MSI Mega Stick 128. I'm trying to decide which one to use for my purposes. mp3gain claims to be lossless, but (I think) normalize claims to be less intrusive, as it only adds tags for the volume differences. The two most talked-about choices are normalize and mp3gain. I have a large mp3 collection, and I'd like to normalize its volume.
