When listening to Ogg Vorbis (or MP3) files on your computer, you may have
|
|
noticed that some songs are louder than others. To a degree, this can be
|
|
what the artist or producer intended, at least when comparing songs from the
|
|
same CD. However, when (randomly) listening to songs from different CDs, the
|
|
sound level can vary quite much, so much that you need to adjust the volume
|
|
every now and then, to get a comfortable sound level. Wouldn't it be nice if
|
|
that could be handled automatically?
|
|
|
|
This is where VorbisGain comes in. It calculates a percieved sound level of
|
|
an Ogg Vorbis file using the ReplayGain algorithm. VorbisGain then stores in
|
|
the comments (tags) in the file a suggestion on how the volume should be
|
|
changed during playback, to get a uniform sound level. However, this only
|
|
solves half the problem; the player application needs to act on that
|
|
suggestion for it to be any useful.
