NAME¶
collectiongain - large scale Replay Gain calculating tool
SYNOPSIS¶
collectiongain [options] music_dir
collectiongain --help
collectiongain --version
DESCRIPTION¶
collectiongain is a script calculating the Replay Gain values of a large
set of music files inside
music_dir. Each audio file will be rectified
against the other files of the same album, which are identified using the file
tags.
OPTIONS¶
- --version
- Display the version of the software.
- -h, --help
- Display a short summary of the available options.
- -f, --force
- Recalculate Replay Gain even if the file already contains
gain information.
- -d, --dry-run
- Don't actually modify any files.
- -r REF, --reference-loudness=REF
- Set the reference loudness to REF dB (default: 89 dB)
- --mp3-format=MP3_FORMAT
Choose the Replay Gain data format for MP3
files. Since there is no commonly accepted standard for Replay Gain in MP3
files, you need to choose. Possible formats are :
- •
- ql (used by Quod Libet). This is the default
value.
- •
- fb2k (read and written by foobar2000, also
understood by Quod Libet)
- •
- mp3gain (tags as written by the mp3gain
program; this doesn't modify the MP3 audio data as said program
does).
- --ignore-cache
- Don't trust implicit assumptions about what was already
done, instead check all files for Replay Gain data explicitly.
