MP3Gain is a free volume balancing tool, used to adjust your collection of mp3s. For your volume control every time a particularly loud or quiet song comes on!

• Jul 24, 2014  MP3Gain is a tool that can adjust the volume level of your MP3 or M3U files. It has a simple and user-friendly interface that can be tinkered with by anyone, regardless of their level of experience.
• Aacgain normalizes the volume of digital music files using the Replay Gain. Which should build error-free on modern Windows, Mac and Linux systems. Fixes compatibility issues with MP3GainGUI: the /o option always outputs Album gain.

Warning MacMP3Gain modifies MP3 and unprotected AAC files with no provision provided to undo the changes. I would highly recommend a full backup of your MP3 library prior to running mp3gain on them. Additionally, the new 'iTunes Plus' files may be corrupted by the current version of aacgain (the underlying program included in MacMP3Gain).

The underlying program (aacgain) is still a PowerPC binary and as such, there will be little performance gain. When someone else provides me with an Intel-built version, I'll add the link here.

Album Gain Mp3gain Download For Mac

System Requirements Mac OS X 10.2 or higher and some MP3 files. ITunes 3 or higher required for playlist support. Usage Double-click on the application icon.

You will see the following dialog window: Click on the Choose Folder button to select a single folder with MP3 files in it. This is typically a single album from one artist under the iTunes folder.

A dialog box like the one below will allow you to choose a folder. If you prefer to select an iTunes playlist, click on the Choose Playlist button. If iTunes is not running, it will start running (this is so that MacMP3Gain can ask it for its list of playlists). A dialog box like the one below will allow you to choose from a list of your iTunes playlists.

After selecting a folder or a playlist, simply click the Start button. While the process is running, the button changes to a Cancel button to stop the procerss. The mp3gain program takes several minutes to analyze the files, then modify the gain for each file. A status message will be shown near the bottom of the dialog box: When the process is complete, the 'barber pole' busy indicator will disappear and a message stating that the processing is complete will be shown at the bottom of the dialog box. That's it.you can choose another playlist or folder, or quit.

Controls This section attempts to describe each of the three controls availble on the dialog window shown above. Album Gain Mode This mode analyzes all the selected files, then applies the same gain offset to all the files. This preserves the differences between songs keeping the 'artistic variation' of the album intact. This mode is normally used when running mp3gain on a single CD's worth of music.

Radio Gain Mode This mode analyzes each file individually, then applies a unique gain offset to each file. This works well when songs have come from a variety of sources or from compilation CDs.

If you listen to your music in 'random' mode, then this might be preferred. Allow Clipping Clipping means that some value in some frame of the song is greater than +/- 32,767.

If any value goes over that, a 16-bit decoder cannot calculate the output wave sound, and it results in a distorted sound. In theory, this sounds like a bad thing, however in practice, I have not heard any ill affects from allowing clipping to occur.

I normally leave this option on although I do not claim to have 'golden ears', either. With this box unchecked, the gain offset is adjusted to ensure that no values go out of range (this is the so-called 'auto-clip' feature of mp3gain which uses the '-k' command line switch). Process Sub-folders When enabled, this option processes all folders containing.mp3 files at or below the selected folder.

Each folder is processed separately so that the Album Gain Mode will work as desired (assuming that each album is in a single folder). With this option selected, users could process their entire library with one run.

Target MP3 Gain Value When enabled, this option allows the user-entered target MP3 gain value to be used rather than the default of 89 dB. This adjustment should be used with care as adjusting this higher could cause clipping to occur when playing MP3 files after they've been adjusted. If you're not sure, then leave this alone.

Be Nice (Reduce CPU Priority) When enabled, this option reduces the priority of the sub-process using the Unix 'nice' command. This is useful when you're running MacMP3Gain while trying to use your Mac for other tasks. FAQ Q: Can I undo the changes that mp3gain does to the files? See the warning above. Make a full backup of your MP3 library prior to running MacMP3Gain.

Q: Why are the songs so quiet after I run mp3gain? A: The command line program mp3gain has a default of 89dB which sounds quieter than many newly ripped MP3s from 'modern' CDs. This is now adjustable with MacMP3Gain although adjusting this higher may mean that you add more clipping. Q: I am running MacMP3Gain but I don't hear my MP3 files playing. What's wrong?

A: MacMP3Gain is not an MP3 player, it analyzes and modifies MP3 files to normalize the perceived volume level of the songs so that when you play them with an MP3 player, you don't have to adjust the volume level for each track. Q: I am running Mac OS X 10.1, how can I run MacMP3Gain? A: You can install the Developers Tools that came with your Mac and download the full source to MacMP3Gain (see above) and to the command line mp3gain that I built for Mac OS X 10.2 and build it all yourself. If someone does this, I'd be happy to help you and post it here once it's complete. Q: I have used the command line version of mp3gain and it has a lot more options than MacMP3Gain.

Can you add support for other options? A: I started with the idea to keep this very simple, but I'd be more than happy to consider other options if enough interest is generated. Just e-mail me at: This page was last updated on: Sun Jan 19 07:29:01 PST 2014.
