MX Linux Forum

Hello, everyone.
I'm trying to find MP3gain (gui) for MX 21.3 but I come across a 32-bit .deb package which crashes instantly when I add a song to normalize.
Would it be possible to have this super valuable package available for us music lovers?
Thanks in advance.

Eh?

Code: Select all

$ apt policy mp3gain
mp3gain:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 1.6.2-2
  Version table:
     1.6.2-2 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages

What do you get for the same command, "apt policy mp3gain"?

I get the same output but there is no GUI for that.
I mentioned that in my post. Is it so difficult to build a frontend for that?

MX17/stretch and MX19/buster had easymp3gain but MX21/bullseye does not...

NB: i see there are qt4 & gtk2 versions, both libraries more or less deprecated - FWIW the gtk2 version works fine on MX21 (i have not tried on bookworm yet)

Many thanks! The gtk2 version worked.

I'll see if they can be rebuilt for the newer MX releases. I mean the gtk2 version, qt4 is removed from Debian.

I see easymp3gain in the repository for MX-21.3. I had to install the dependencies first because it didn't pull them in on its own. I installed mp3gain and vorbisgain but the other dependency, aacgain, isn't in the repository so I was still unable to install easymp3gain.

The Synaptic error after pre-installing mp3gain and vorbisgain...
easymp3gain:
Depends: aacgain but it is not installable

Is it possible to include aacgain in the repo?

Whoops, I just have to rebuild that from the MX 19 repo for current and future MX. Hang on a few minutes....

OK, there's a newer 2.0.0 aacgain, but I can only build it with the newer gcc-12 in MX 23. So I have 1.9 packages for MX 21:

Also headed to the main repos.

Got it, Stevo. Thanks much!

So, will it be included in mx23?

Thank you for this, Stevo.
So, if I understood that correctly, you will rebuild EasyMP3gain for MX 23?

Yes, it's already in the main MX 23 repos. I just have to remember to do it when we start on MX 25.
