You have two problems (three if you count MP3's).
Foobar2000 has a replay gain scanner system that can scan your files and add a replay gain tag to them which a music player can use to normalize the loudness.
Audacious allows you to open a folder and play all files inside and has replay gain support.
Oh I have way more than 3 problems, hehe.
Foobar2000 has a replay gain
I will have to check this out
Audacious allows you to...
So, in audacious, I can drop my mp3 folder and it will play all music in all sub folders? That would be great and a more well known player. Thanks
Well, now I got one less. Audacious seems to do everything I needed, thanks!
mpv --no-video --shuffle dir/*.mp3
Or --profile audio-only and put them in a [audio-only] in the config, also the normalization options. You can also set respective keyboard shortcuts and add a mpris plugin.
Is what i use at least.
Will this do sub folders? I use haruna for videos and it only seems to do 1 folder at a time
Looks like just pointing it to the directory plays it recursive.
Will check this out tonight, thanks
Strawberry
That's what I use for similar purpose. Another possibility would be Fooyin or Deadbeef. Or foobar2000 on windows.
Oh the blessing and curse of linux. 2 more to check out
Will look into this as well.
VLC?
That'll play subfolders, randomly and with normalisation... although I've not really used the normalisation much, just played with it a few times when yoochoob downloads were all mismatched.
Loved FolderPlay but eventually switched to VLC on Android for same reasons you stated. For mp3 its even better then VLC on the desktop.
I do the mp3 ID3 tagging chores tho ...
Use ffmpeg to fix your files first so you have fewer problems.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
