Are there any simple tools to normalize an .ogg-library of 10'000+ songs so that the volume is the same throughout all songs?
Terminal or GUI doesn't matter, it only need to be simple.
One caveat though, I don't want soft interludes/intermissions and ballads blown out of proportion.
Preferably the process should find the overall gain of the album (I have all my CD's ripped into separate folders) and normalize the level thereafter.
Thanks for the answers I have received so far! I think I have found a utility that works for my needs. After some research, it seems that Xiph.org (the makers of theora) have a utility that has a chop functionality that takes a time offset (much like the ffmpeg utility that aking1012 mentioned ) called oggz-tools
sudo apt-get install oggz-tools
It does a direct stream cut as well, meaning the quality stays the same and the process only takes a about 10-15 seconds. I have more playing around to do with it, but it seems like a winner after using it for a few videos.
Audacity is capable of doing this.
