Replay Gain in Linux, Page for Linux users who want to use Replay Gain. Options

[Bobulous]

Hello, all.

Purely through ignorance, I'd been whinging for a while that there were no tools in Linux for calculating Replay Gain values for audio files. Having discovered the error of my ways, I've added a page to my site about using Replay Gain in Linux:

http://www.bobulous.org.uk/misc/Replay-Gain-in-Linux.html

I've created this page largely to remind myself how it's done in future (very bad memory, me), but I'm hoping it will also be of use to new Linux users who want to tag their audio files without resorting to Windows.

I know that a lot of this information is already out there, but I wanted it all in one place. Also, I couldn't find a script that recursively runs on each directory of music files in a specified location, so I've written a BASH script that does the job and made it available on this page. Very handy for metaflac and possibly mp3gain (though I have to admit that I wasn't having a lot of luck with Linux audio players, and couldn't get MP3 files to playback with gain adjusted at all).

There are bound to be errors (and a good chance of major oversights), so let me know where the howlers are at and I'll try to smooth things out.
