  Description : gnormalize is a front-end to normalize, an audio converter, 
encoder, ripper, meta data (tag) editor and audio cd player

gnormalize decodes the MP3/MP4/MPC/OGG/APE/FLAC file to WAV, then
normalizes the WAV to a targeted volume level and re-encodes it.
Moreover, gnormalize can extract Audio CD track and output as various
popular audio formats (MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE, FLAC, WAV) with fast
speed and high quality. gnormalize can also convert audio format between
MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE and FLAC with high fidelity, which meets your
need to play and collect audio files. It can change the encoding and
Metadata (tag) properties of final normalized files.
gnormalize can be used to adjust the volume of audio files to a standard
volume level, where different recording levels on different albums can
cause the volume to vary greatly from song to song.
gnormalize is an alternative for replaygain, because there is no
consistent standard by which to define the appropriate replay gain which
mp3 encoders and players agree on, and no automatic way to set the
volume adjustment for each track.

That's a *very* long short description.  Common practice is to keep it
under about 60 characters.  How about this:

Graphical audio ripper, encoder, converter, player and tag editor

Although I'll be the first to agree that is a thoroughly ugly sentence
construction.  A more general form:

Graphical music file creation and manipulation tool

Or perhaps:

Music file creation and manipulation tool for GNOME

(That is, assuming that the 'g' in gnormalize is a GNOME 'g' and not some
other 'g')

Although this short form doesn't list all of the specific capabilities of
the tool, it should be enough to give people enough info to decide whether
they want to look at the long description.  You could then use the short
description you originally provided as the first paragraph of the long
description, which is a good introduction to the tool.
