MP3Gain Portable 1.2.5 has been released. MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume using statistical analysis to determine how loud the file sounds. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free. Read on for more details...
Features
Tired of reaching for your volume knob every time your mp3 player changes to a new song?
MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. MP3Gain 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.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
MP3Gain Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

nice tool, but..
i prefer to use AACGain
it's a modified version of MP3Gain and able to handle mp3 AND aac files. it uses the same GUI. optical, nothing changed for the user.
you can get more informations here:
http://altosdesign.com/aacgain/
Copy It In
If you rename aacgain to mp3gain.exe and drop it into MP3Gain Portable, you can use it portably. AACGain is command line only but designed to be compatible with the MP3Gain GUI.
just fyi
i know. i'm using it since some years because mp3 is just a pain for audio lovers
just would mention it for the masses, or a 2nd release with the needed changes already made.
Probably Not
We probably won't add it in since it's not officially supported by MP3Gain GUI although it 'should' work. Unless there's a bigger demand for it. I don't use AAC at all myself.
Spamming or what?
There is nothing about Aacgain at that link, just a site about interior design.
Error when launching
Component "MSCOMCTL.OCX" or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
I'm using Win 7 64bit swedish
Dependencies
The program need that file to operate. The home page for the program offers a number of different downloads. Most importantly, it has one "normal" version and one "full" version which carries this note:
Since this note is from the zip file "no installer" download, I assume that the program will use the Microsoft files if they are in the same directory as the program (the old DOS method - first check local directory, then check along the directories listed in the PATH environment variable).
Correct, Included
That's why that file is included directly in the App\MP3Gain directory. I tested it and it works on a virgin Windows XP SP3 install as well as my Windows 7 x64 install. So something else must be up with this machine.
Maybe a non-english OS Problem?
I've got the same problem with my Win7 x64 german Windows. Maybe a problem with non-english OS? The file is in the directory as you have written but it seems it cannot be found. Any idea?
Same problem
i have the same problem english(us/can) win 7 x64 i also had this problem with one other program too...
More Details
Can one the folks having this issue please create a topic in the forums with more details like full install path, OS version, anything else running, admin/limited/guest account, etc? And, also if you could try running the app directly (MP3GainGUI.exe in App\MP3Gain) to see what kind of an error message comes up? (Warning: This may leave traces on your local PC, of course). You can link to the forum post from a comment here and then we can all follow it and work out what the issue is.
run with admin!!
i ran it with admin now it works both in admin and not in admin mode (oddity lol)
