WVGAIN(1)		     General Commands Manual		       WVGAIN(1)

NAME
     wvgain -- add ReplayGain information to wavpack files

SYNOPSIS
     wvgain [-acdinqsvz] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     wvgain perceptually analyzes WavPack audio files for volume, calculates Re-
     playGain  information  based  on  this,  and adds the appropriate APEv2 tag
     fields.  ReplayGain-enabled players will use this	information  to  produce
     the same perceived loudness on all tracks.  Both individual track and whole
     album ReplayGain information can be calculated.  On multicore machines mul-
     tiple  threads are used to improve the speed by about 2x, unless the -1 op-
     tion is specified.

   OPTIONS
     -a      album mode (all files scanned are considered an album)

     -c      clean ReplayGain values from all files

     -d      display calculated values only (no files are modified)

     -i      ignore .wvc file (forces hybrid lossy)

     -n      new files only (skip files with track info, or album info if  album
	     mode specified)

     -q      quiet (keep console output to a minimum)

     -s      show stored values only (no analysis)

     -t      use multithreading to improve performance

     -1      don't use multithreading to improve performance

     -v      write program version to stdout

     -z[n]   don't  set (n = 0 or omitted) or set (n = 1) console title to indi-
	     cate progress (leaves "WvGain Completed")
