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. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-v\fR +show version number +.TP +\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\-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\-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 this 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\-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. +.SH AUTHORS +Coding by Glen Sawyer +.br +Unix-ification by Stefan Partheymüller +.br +DLL-ification by John Zitterkopf +.br +Additional tweaks by Artur Polaczynski, Mark Armbrust, and others +.PP +Man page created by B.
