The AACGain application was designed to be a modification to Glen Sawyer's excellent MP3Gain program. It supports AAC (mp4/m4a/QuickTime) audio files in addtion to mp3 files.
AACGain normalizes the volume of digital music files using the Replay Gain algorithm. It works by modifying the global_gain fields in the mp4 samples. Free-form metadata tags are added to the file to save undo information, making the normalization process reversable.
AACGain uses the same command-line user interface as mp3gain, and is compatible with the mp3gain Visual Basic GUI.
