There is command-line mp3gain package, but I believe this has been dropped
from Debian and Ubuntu repositories. I was able to compile older version of
mp3gain from Ubuntu 14.04 for Ubuntu Studio 16.04 no problem. Not necessary
now as Martin Wimpress created an Ubuntu repository for mp3gain and aacgain

Got those, I guess they'll work, haven't tried them yet.
I use QtGain
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/qtgain/> as GUI front-end,
easy to drag a folder or file in to scan. I also added a custom right click
option in Thunar file manager. With or without GUI, the scan is slightly
faster than Foobar (on my pc) and I can't hear any difference in sound
levels in final playback
Hmm, install instructions say to run qmake. I didn't have qmake
installed. I finally got qmake by installing the qt4-make and qt5-make
packages. Make then greeted me with errors about not finding QtWidgets.
Any other way to compile this? Or obtain a binary?
