Thank you, you seem very knowledgeable in this area... Well, it sounds advanced... Yes, its a stereo alright, that much I know. I tried this but it sounds so bad I even had to put a warning in a comment: # first do: # $ pip install ffmpeg-normalize # # but... don't use, at least not with music, sounds terrible :( get-mp3-normalized () { local -a files files=($@) local dB=-10 # db/LUFS for f in $files; do ffmpeg-normalize -f -c:a libmp3lame -t $dB -ext mp3 $f done } # [1] [1] https://dataswamp.org/~incal/conf/.zsh/audio-convert -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
