mp3gain is Lossless MP3 volume adjustment tool

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install mp3gain on Fedora 34.

What is mp3gain

MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. It does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear. 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.
