Most of my CD collection was ripped to FLAC with volume-normalization enabled. Unfortunately, as I listen primarily to instrumental classical music, I have determined that this was a poor choice.

An undesireable effect of the normalization is that I can hear slight changes in the overall noise floor level when transitioning between tracks during album playback on some CDs.

So, I'd like to disable the normalization, if this is possible. I don't know whether the ID3v2 track tag information contains the amount of gain applied during the normalization process, but if so, it should be a simple matter to zero it and apply the delta change to all samples within the track.

Does anyone know whether this is possible and, if so, which software tool(s) support this operation?

Thanks in advance,

never normalize... use replaygain instead... and the only way to undo normalization is to re-rip

I don't think its possible. Like necropimp said, I think you'll have to re-rip.

That is most unfortunate. Apparently, 450, it is I who am the village idiot.
