continuously crashes "MP3 Gain - Audio Normalization quit unexpectedly.” Trying to adjust gain on 89 files Would like my money back

This app crashes and burns within minutes - don't waste your money!!!

Read carefully because I never rate an app. I have about 20K songs ripped from various CDs and downloaded over the years. Each at a different volume rate. MP3 Gain 4 is the simplest tool to normalize the output. It does what it says in the tin, no bells and whistles. It is simple to use, and the results are pretty good. What makes this app stand out from the rest is the customer service. I contacted them with some issues I had with my app (I'm not going to go into detail here) but, not only did they fix the problems, but they did it in lightning speed, and were very fast replying to my emails. These guys have a returning customer for life. Strongly recommended Show more

I record sermons at my church using a remote mic and a Zoom recorder. There are fans making a low humming sound in the background, so we record at a low volume to avoid picking up the hum. This app lets us quickly and easily increase the gain. It's so easy to use and does exactly what we need without having to launch a larger aplication and wade through the menus to get it done. Thank you! Show more

I do not recommend purchasing this app. - The app description says the app “losslessly” adjusts audio files to “a" specified target volume. Not true. For some songs, quality loss is not very noticeable. But for some, I heard glitches during adjustments. - Also, based on the description, I thought I would have the option to set a volume and have the app do all the work: make the volumes consistent for multiple songs. Like Sound Check in itunes. Wrong. One must change each individual song volume manually. - It’s also difficult to preview songs. There is no way to fast forward or rewind the songs while previewing. - After you apply volume changes, the original audio files are altered. You have no option to save as separate copies. It’s only 2.99, but I would save this money and buy a better app. Show more

Just not usable in its current condition and I wish I hadn’t wasted any money buying it. Needs the ability, as other MP3Gain programs do, to choose a specific volume setting and apply it easily to all files. At this point, MP3Gain Express is much better and more usable for the Mac. Show more

This app is most appropriate for converting a small number of files at one time. An album at a time, to be exact. MP3 Gain does not have the capability of maintaining a typical iTunes generated hierarchy when choosing an output target: e.g. the target winds up being the album folder for each converted file. Therefore, to maintain the hierarchy that iTunes, and, a USB port recognizing car stereo might use, the files have to be converted one album at a time to maintain the proper drill down. Probably a 3 week task for my 16GB flash drive of music favorites for my car. Sorry I spent the $2.99. Show more

I’ve used the old Windows open source version of MP3Gain for years. There’s a freeware Mac port, MP3Gain Express, that works well for MP3s, but doesn’t do M4A files. I’ve only run a few M4As through this so far, but they came out fine. MP3s with large gain reductions, however, didn’t fare so well. There are burst of garbled audio in the music. This program appears to be unaffiliated with the open source programs of the same name. I assume it’s a port without credit, which of course would violate the license terms. The support site is unmaintained. I did not try to contact the author. tl/dr, use it on M4As, not MP3s. That’s worth $3 to me. Show more

Wow. Really? Please fix this or I would like my time and money back.

Fixes the sound output, but that’s it. Unable to move or save the new file, which makes it useless. Very disappointed.

doesn’t work. Robbed
