Hi,

First and most important thanks for creating, maintaining and sharing this amazing utility with the world. I have a small suggestion for a future release.

There is an old multi-platform utility called MP3gain that let’s you set a target volume level for a track after analysis without reencoding. This is great for leveling out volume levels of an MP3 collection. I think it would be wonderful to add this functionality to MP3tag as a user can define a baseline target volume that can be saved automatically along with the created tag. I am sure many out there use both programs together, so consolidating the functionality would be wonderful.

Thanks for taking the time to read this suggestion and again for MP3gain!

In the meantime, you can use MP3gain as external tool, directly called from Mp3tag.  
Just define it like this:

> **[Tools – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/tools/)**
>
> Documentation of Tools configuration options. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
