How To Fix mp3gain: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu mp3gain is provided by mp3gain package.

mp3gain is:

MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis (using the replaygain algorithm) to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.

MP3Gain can adjust the volume in a completely lossless way by modifying the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding. This works with all mp3 players, i.e. no support for a special tag is required.

MP3Gain can also add replaygain compatible (APE) or ID3v2 gain tags to mp3 files.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install mp3gain

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install mp3gain.

sudo apt -y install mp3gain

sudo aptitude install mp3gain
