.TH MP3GAIN "1" "Jan 2018" "mp3gain version 1.6.1" "SlackBuilds.org"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
mp3gain \- analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B mp3gain
|
|
[\fIoptions\fR] \fI<infile> \fR[\fI<infile 2> \fR...]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Tired of reaching for your volume knob every time your mp3 player changes to a new song?
|
|
MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume.
|
|
.PP
|
|
MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Also, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding.

\fB\-v\fR

\fB\-g\fR <i>
|
|
apply gain i to mp3 without doing any analysis
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-l\fR 0 <i>
|
|
apply gain i to channel 0 (left channel) of mp3
|
|
without doing any analysis (ONLY works for STEREO mp3s,
|
|
not Joint Stereo mp3s)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-l\fR 1 <i>
|
|
apply gain i to channel 1 (right channel) of mp3
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-e\fR 1 <i>
|
|
skip Album analysis, even if multiple files listed
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-r\fR
|
|
apply Track gain automatically (all files set to equal loudness)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-k\fR
|
|
automatically lower Track/Album gain to not clip audio
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-a\fR
|
|
apply Album gain automatically (files are all from the same
|
|
album: a single gain change is applied to all files, so
|
|
their loudness relative to each other remains unchanged,
|
|
but the average album loudness is normalized)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-m\fR <i>
|
|
modify suggested MP3 gain by integer i
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-d\fR <n>
|
|
modify suggested dB gain by floating\-point n
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-c\fR
|
|
ignore clipping warning when applying gain
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-o\fR
|
|
output is a database\-friendly tab\-delimited list
|

.TP
|
|
\fB\-t\fR
|
|
mp3gain writes modified mp3 to temp file, then deletes original
|
|
instead of modifying bytes in original file
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-T\fR
|
|
Assume input file is an MPEG 2 Layer III file (i.e. don't check for mis-named Layer I or Layer II files)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-q\fR
|
|
Quiet mode: no status messages
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-p\fR
|
|
Preserve original file timestamp
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-x\fR
|
|
Only find max. amplitude of mp3
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-f\fR
|
|
Force mp3gain to assume input file is an MPEG 2 Layer III file
|
|
(i.e. don't check for mis\-named Layer I or Layer II files)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\-? or \fB\-h\fR
|
|
show built-in help message
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR c
|
|
only check stored tag info (no other processing)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR d
|
|
delete stored tag info (no other processing)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR s
|
|
skip (ignore) stored tag info (do not read or write tags)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR r
|
|
force re\-calculation (do not read tag info)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR i
|
|
use ID3v2 tag for MP3 gain info
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-s\fR a
|
|
use APE tag for MP3 gain info (default)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-u\fR
|
|
undo changes made by mp3gain (based on stored tag info)
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-w\fR
|
|
"wrap" gain change if gain+change > 255 or gain+change < 0
|
|
(use "\-? wrap" switch for a complete explanation)
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you specify \fB\-r\fR and \fB\-a\fR, only the second one will work.
|
|
If you do not specify \fB\-c\fR, the program will stop and ask before
|
|
applying gain change to a file that might clip.
