[vorbis-dev]Newbie question

[Ross Levis]

That's right.  ReplayGain is the way to go.  There are MP3 players out 
there using MP3Gain in the same way.  It's an intelligent way of 
determining the average volume of the track which is then stored in the 
tags and used by players to increase or decrease the volume.  My 
WinVorbis / Vorbix front-end includes VorbisGain which can be used when 
encoding, or applied to existing ogg files.  There are Single and Album 
tags applied.  Album mode scans all tracks from a CD to obtain the 
average for the whole CD.  Users can choose in the player whether they 
want Single or Album gains.
