IGain

Altodesign's iGain is an interactive front-end for the MP3Gain and AACGain applications, designed to integrate with iTunes. These two applications use the "ReplayGain" algorithm to compute the overall loudness of an audio track in relation to a selected series, as perceived by the human ear. It then adjusts the track's volume so that the series of tracks appear to play at a consistent volume.

This overcomes any need to constantly adjust the volume of the player while the playlist or album progresses from track to track.

Integration into iTunes allows iGain to: 1) automatically locate music files, and 2) operate on playlists, albums, and tag files such that they will be resyncronized with the iPod after gain adjustments.

iGain is freeware, released under the GNU Public License agreement.
