Package: mp3roaster Version: 0.3.0-6 Severity: normal >From the man page:
"The main highlights of this application are [...] automatic volume leveling support for best audio CD quality." This is a rather dubious claim. For 16 bit input files, which is the overwhelming majority, normalizing will simply not increase audio quality. Furthermore, it looks like this program is normalizing per-file, which will distort the overall dynamic range of an album. I can see how normalizing could make sense in some situations, but it is a really bad default; please turn it off.
