Yes, it has a target volume. You can modify it with -m or -d, but then you have to use the same option always. I use -m 2 because I consider the default a bit too quiet. > I thought it looked up the album name in the ID3 tag and therefore > knew which track was on which album, but that's clearly not the > case. No, but it would probably be possible to write a wrapper script that does that. It's a lot easier if you have each album in its own directory. Then you just have to call it once per directory. > Let's just consider two albums, A and B. I call mp3gain for all the > tracks on album A. It makes the same adjustment to all the tracks. > On what does it base this adjustment? The adjustment is so that the average volume of the tracks matches the target volume. Hope this helps.
