About:
VorbisGain is a utility that calculates and applies Replay Gain volume normalization tags to Ogg Vorbis audio files. It analyzes the audio data to determine perceived loudness, allowing media players to adjust playback volume consistently across different tracks and albums. This ensures a uniform listening experience without altering the original audio data.
Key Features:
  • Calculates track and album Replay Gain values
  • Writes metadata to Ogg Vorbis files without re-encoding
  • Supports both peak and normalization gain values
  • Command-line interface for scripting and batch processing
Use Cases:
  • Normalizing volume across a music library for consistent playback
  • Preparing audio files for portable devices that support Replay Gain
Alternatives:
  • metaflac – Part of FLAC tools; handles Replay Gain for FLAC files, not Vorbis
  • MP3Gain – Performs similar function but for MP3 files
