mp3gain is no longer included in the repository, so it has to be installed by a PPA before QtGain can be installed via Deb. Alternatively you can compile the source yourself or unpack the Deb manually, but then the dependencies have to be installed manually as well.

Thank you for your comment, the -k switch isn't used. I just changed this, here the new version:
Albumgain
isForceRecalulation ? Parameter << "-a" << "-k" << "-s" << "r" << "-d" << QString("%1.0").arg(Volume() - 89) << allFiles[finishedFiles()] : Parameter << "-a" << "-k" << "-d" << QString("%1.0").arg(Volume() - 89) << allFiles[finishedFiles()];
Trackgain
isForceRecalulation ? Parameter << "-r" << "-k" << "-s" << "r" << "-d" << QString("%1.0").arg(Volume() - 89) << allFiles[finishedFiles()] : Parameter << "-r" << "-k" << "-d" << QString("%1.0").arg(Volume() - 89) << allFiles[finishedFiles()]; - Sep 21 2016

Silent update:
I have discovered that QMessageBox generally can't open links in KDE, I don't know if this is a bug but all other DEs have no problem with html links. QtGain now uses its own dialogs to display the messages, these dialogs should also work with KDE. I have updated the debs so everybody can test it, there are also some ui changes. - Jul 03 2011

Hi, I'm using Gnome and the links working for me. What desktop are you using?
* Can you open the project page via the link in the about dialog?
* Can you please start QtGain in a shell and click on the links, is there any output?
* Does right click working for you? There should be a context menu (Copy Link Location)
Thank you for pointing that out! - Jul 02 2011

The design from the main window of QtGain is taken from OpenOffice.org (word counter/statistic). The reason why I don't using group boxes is because they reducing the free place for the other widgets, so it would be necessary to enlarge the main window. On the other hand under Gnome the thin lines are not shown and IMHO it looks not so good for the main window. The changes in the preferences dialog can be adopted from your mock-up.

I have uploaded a translation file for Qt Linguist. With this file everyone can translate QtGain to his/her native language. Upload the translated file to a filehoster and post the link here, I add the translation in the next version.

Hi,
mp3gain is the only replay gain tool that supports writing ID3v2 tags. But these tags are useless for your mp3 player, because mp3gain stores only "Analysis" and "Undo" information. Every time you replay gain your files with mp3gain, it changes directly the loudness of all frames, your songs have the same loudness independently of the used device. - Feb 16 2011

Please check in your preferences that the target volume is not too high, the default is 89. When you replay gain your files with a too high volume your files can clipping. You can revert this when you replay gain your files once again with a lower target volume.

Hello and thank you for your feedback :)
Quote:98dB on mp3gain on windows is equal to 95dB on qtgain.
mp3gain has two options to set the gain level:
Quote:
-m <i> - modify suggested MP3 gain by integer i
-d <n> - modify suggested dB gain by floating-point n
QtGain using -m to set the level, maybe the windows frontend uses -d. I have changed this behaviour now, hope this fixes the issue but I can't guarantee that because I don't using windows anymore. ;)
Quote:Also the .deb packages work fine in debian testing.
Great news :) - Sep 10 2010

Quote:1. Now QtGain works just perfectly with mp3 files and calculates "Track Gain" and "Album Gain" correctly.
Great news :)
Quote:The point is that if you already have calculated "Album Gain" and re-set QtGain to calculate just the "Track Gain" it doesn't skip all of the files as it should, but skips just some of the files and recalculates the track gain for other files in the same folder (which are already calculated and applied).
I have tested it with some files and I can reproduce it. But I can't change this, this is a behaviour of mp3gain. When I AlbumGain some files and then manually TrackGain with "mp3gain -a -k -c files.mp3" mp3gain analyses some files again. Perhaps its possible to avoid this with some additionally option, but I don't know.
Quote:- When you drop the folder to calculate the Album Gain for the flac files interface hangs about minute and shows that it's executing Metaflac package (see screen) and than without any dialog it shows that calculating is finished. But as you can see from screen-shot it shows - ToDo -0, Gained 0, Skipped 0, Errors 0. In reality Album Gain is calculated and applied correctly.
QtGain shows a busy indicator instead of a percentage of steps when you AlbumGain flac files. Unfortunately I can't change this. Metaflac gives no information back to QtGain so its only know when Metaflac starts and when it exits, its impossible to show how many files are gained, skipped or a progress in AlbumMode.
To replay gain in AlbumMode only one process is started with:
metaflac --add-replay-gain file1 file2 file3...
Quote:- Here is another issue. When you calculate the Track Gain the same Track Gain value is also applied to the Album Gain field, which is not correct. You can see this on screen-shot.
Metaflac does this automatically but in this case it's not a bug, please see the help in Metaflac:
Quote:...Existing ReplayGain tags will be replaced. If only one FLAC file is given, the album and title gains will be the same.
In TrackGain mode QtGain starts for every flac file a single process
metaflac --add-replay-gain file1.flac
metaflac --add-replay-gain file2.flac

Quote:I found something new. When I'm calculating the "Album Gain" the last file hangs.
Hmm, strange but I can confirm the bug. I have already fixed all reported bugs and will publish a beta of 0.9.1 here in the comments tomorrow, so you can test it for bugs. :)
Again, thanks for reporting! - Aug 22 2010

Thank you :)
Quote:I just can't understand one thing - why some files are recalculated several times? I did simple test - dragged the same folder 3 times. At first time all of the 12 songs were gained and 0 skipped. At the second time 8 songs were skipped and 4 songs were gained again. The third time results were the same as in the second time. So, why this 4 songs are gained again and again? :)
I have a few songs too which replay gained every time, this is an issue of mp3gain. I don't know why mp3gain trys to replay gain these files again and again. You can test it yourself when you run mp3gain manually with these files and mp3gain should analyse the files every time.
On the other hand not all replay gain tools supporting skipping and replay gain every time the files. - Aug 22 2010

Quote:Im using 0.9.0 and I enabled "Show skipped files in Errorlog" but now I cannot find the errorlog.
Indeed this is a bug and will be fixed in the next release.
Quote:
The about box shows how many files I processed and how many were gained, but it doesn't show the skipped files.
Yes the statistic shows only gained and processed files, the difference of both values are the unprocessed files (skipped/ errorious). - Aug 22 2010

Hi and sorry for the late reply. QtGain skips only files which are already gained and there is no need to recalculate the replay gain. Files with errors are automatically listed at the end of the current job in a dialogbox which also shows the type of error.
