"Normalize" is a software that equalizes the volume of audio files to a consistent level, providing the user with a more balanced listening experience.
The software comes with easy-to-follow installation instructions requiring users to perform three simple steps: first, run the ./configure options command; second, execute the make command, and third, perform the make install command. These commands can be found in the file named INSTALL. Users who need more detailed directions can refer to this file as well. To learn how to use the software, check the man page, which is contained in normalize.1.
With the latest release of the software, several bug fixes have been implemented. These include the correction of a problem reading broken WAV files with bad sizes, the resolution of a bug that caused Seg faults on non-PCM WAV files, and the fixing of an issue reading WAV files that have stuff after the data chunk. In addition, the team addressed a Windows "no such file" bug, resolved a small memory leak, corrected a cosmetic bug with negative gains, and addressed a bad basename regexp in normalize-mp3 script. Furthermore, the team addressed the --oggdecode option in normalize-mp3 script, turned audiofile support on by default, and upgraded to the latest GNU autotools.
Overall, Normalize is a useful software tool that can ensure that audio files are adjusted to a standard volume level. With an easy and straightforward installation process and bug fixes that continue to improve the software, this tool can be a valuable addition to any music-lover's collection.
