  Description     : gnormalize is a front-end to normalize, an audio converter, encoder, ripper, meta data (tag) editor and audio cd player

gnormalize decodes the MP3/MP4/MPC/OGG/APE/FLAC file to WAV, then
normalizes the WAV to a targeted volume level and re-encodes it.
Moreover, gnormalize can extract Audio CD track and output as various
popular audio formats (MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE, FLAC, WAV) with fast
speed and high quality. gnormalize can also convert audio format between
MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE and FLAC with high fidelity, which meets your
need to play and collect audio files. It can change the encoding and
Metadata (tag) properties of final normalized files.
gnormalize can be used to adjust the volume of audio files to a standard
volume level, where different recording levels on different albums can
cause the volume to vary greatly from song to song.
gnormalize is an alternative for replaygain, because "there is no
consistent standard by which to define the appropriate replay gain which
mp3 encoders and players agree on, and no automatic way to set the
volume adjustment for each track".
