    MP3gain equivalent for AAC?

    I've re-ripped most of my music to 256 VBR AAC and there is quite a difference in the volume on some of the tracks and it's rather annoying when the listening to songs on shuffle.

    I know you can turn on the soundcheck when listening through itunes, but I also use a USB stick in the car with a lot of my music on and it's not possible in there.

    So does anyone know if there is an MP3gain equivalent for AAC files? I was told the MP3gain works with AAC files but I can't seem to get it to work or see them.

    Thanks.

    I believe iTunes will also write it's own version of MP3gain to tracks, this is then handled by iPods.

    Re: MP3gain equivalent for AAC?

    Sadly, AAC has no "sensible" way of storing this metadata. AACGAIN (http://altosdesign.com/aacgain/) does what mp3gain does - mangles the audio stream's settings - rather than the more correct behaviour of vorbisgain which simply writes optional metadata values to files which players can then use or not
