I haven't been able to find gnormalize anywhere in the repos. It would be useful to have this in universe or backports as I have a load of AAC/M4A files that I want to transcode into MP3. The homepage for the software is at:

I'm all my hands and legs for it! Gnormalize seems to have everything needed:
- CDA extraction via cdparanoia
- OGG, MP3, FLAC (and more) encoding
- normalize funtcion, which is missing in all the SoundJuicer, Grip, other gui rippers I know., and which is a crucial funtcionality, needless to say
- it's light
- easy to use
Gnormalize should replace the default SoundJuicer IMO in Ubuntu.

Hi, I did managed to install the deb that is on the homepage and all seems fine. but this was a pakage built for Debian stable and so I wasn't sure if it would work at the time. Decoding to WAV and re-encoding to MP3 and OGG work fine as long as you have the dependencies like faad, faac and lame etc.
There are also rpm packages out there but I didn't try converting these with alien as I never seem to have much luck with this tool.
In any case, this is a nice powerful tool and it would be nice to have it available in the Ubuntu repo trees - if it isn't already!
Cheers, PJS
I would also enjoy seeing this in the repos.

In this case
fakeroot alien --to-deb gnormalize-0.47-1.noarch.rpmdoes the trick. It worked on my system.
Please take this up to the Masters of the Universe team (#ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.net) -- I cannot add brand-new packages to Backports.
Just for curiosity, is this app to be included on backports?
I really like gnormalize and would enjoy very much to see it on the repositories.
Thanks a lot for all your work, Ubuntu Backports Team.
It first needs to enter Dapper's Universe to be eligible for backporting. Contact #ubuntu-motu or put it on the UniverseCandidates page on the Wiki.
Any news on whether this is being added or not yet?
Any news on this?
It would be nice to have proper packages, indeed. Especially with the latest 6.1 release: wavegain is required, but there are no .debs (I know, I know, everything is doable/compilable/fixable, but still...)
Anyone?
