- 2.) Start easyMP3Gain by running "./easymp3gain"
- COMPILING:
- If you want to compile easyMP3Gain on your own you first need the FreePascal-compiler (>=2.4.0) and the Lazarus-packages (>=0.9.28) installed.
- 1.) download the ".tar.gz" package of easyMP3Gain

- 3.) start easyMP3Gain with parameters. Some examples:
- >easymp3gain '/home/song1.mp3' '/home/mymusic/' --> adds song1.mp3 and all songs in /home/mymusic
- >easymp3gain -r '/home/mymusic' --> adds all songs in /home/mymusic recursively
- MP3/AAC-Files vs. Ogg-Vorbis-Files:
- -----------------------------------
- MP3-Files are handled in an other way than Ogg-Vorbis-Files.
- The handling depends on the backends mp3gain and vorbisgain.
- Mp3-Files can be analyzed and "hard-gained". In the analyze-process volume-tags are written in the mp3-file.
- The Column "Track Gain" shows, how much the file will be gained when clicking on "Gain".
- In this process the volume of the files is changed (hard-gained).
- Vorbis-files can't be "hard-gained". If you click on "Gain" the file is analyzed and the difference to 89dB is written in the file (only as a tag).
- Some media-players read this tag and adjust the volume. In contrast to "mp3gain" "vorbisgain" has a fixed reference at 89dB.
- Example: easyMP3Gain shows: Volume: 98.8; Gain: (-9.8).
- This means, the file has a real volume of 98.8, but the player reads the gain-tag and adjusts the volume to: 98.8-9.8 = 89 dB!
- Why is there a "?" in the "Album Volume" column?
- There is no information about the album volume in ogg-vorbis files. Only the album-gain tags can be read.
