OK, I've filed a bug report:

grip: Config-Rip-Options Wav filter command doesn't run.

 Is your MP3 player one of those?

My external MP3 player is one of those, but that just means that running
`normalize-audio -a -20dB *.mp3` will not have any audible effect when
I copy the files onto it and listen to them (off-line).

That's why I'm trying to normalize the WAV files between ripping and
encoding.

Can't get grip to normalize before encoding.

2005-10-29 Thread Adam Funk
I have grip 3.3.1-4 installed and configured as follows:

Ripper: grip (cdparanoia)

Rip file format: /home/MISC/grip/%A--%d--%t--%n.wav

Options: Wav filter command: /usr/bin/normalize-audio -a
-20dB /home/MISC/grip/%A--%d--%t--%n.wav

Encoder: lame

etc.


It produces properly named and tagged wav and mp3 files, but
normalization does not take place.  All the files of both types have a
much higher volume than I want (for my MP3 player).

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Did you check if you have the normalize-audio package installed?

Yes (normalize-audio 0.7.6-7).  For a while I've been using
normalize-audio and normalize-mp3 from the command-line with no
problems at all.

Where do you get normalize-mp3?

It is part of the normalize-audio package.

$ apt-file search normalize-mp3
normalize-audio: usr/bin/normalize-mp3
normalize-audio: usr/share/man/man1/normalize-mp3.1.gz

Sorry, that was a bit ambiguous.  I meant that I've been using the
normalize-audio and normalize-mp3 commands (from the normalize-audio
package)

 Where do you get normalize-mp3?

The normalize-audio package provides three commands:
/usr/bin/normalize-mp3
/usr/bin/normalize-audio
/usr/bin/normalize-ogg

This was not the case for the normalize package that normalize-audio has
superseded.
