A perl script to rip and normalize songs for iTunes
Authored by: stsmith on Feb 25, '07 11:45:51AM
The script uses normalize --peak (distortionless) on the original WAV file, opposed to normalizing the rms values and using a limiter. This simply sets the peak value of each track to peak out a signed 16-bit integer. I've found that this works best for me with a mix of music -- when listenening to the original CD, I listen on a stereo, so adjusting the track volumes isn't an issue, and I have noticed that on most recent recordings, all tracks are peak normalized anyway.

Besides, this is perl. If you don't like the script's behavior, it's easy to change.
