Good.

Normal citizens actually pay for AI??

Well, I forgot to mention that I don’t just use these audio files on my Linux machine. I use SyncThingy in order to use the same files on my phone as well (which runs LineageOS). So, unless VLC for Android also has that feature, I would prefer a solution that works regardless of which platform I’m using, thus why I was looking to do re-encoding on Linux. Though admittedly, I was also wondering if the answer was no because I thought I might have finally found a decent idea for a project

There’s also Tenacity, which is a fork of Audacity after it was bought by some company iirc. I was actually considering to use it to manually adjust the audio of each file. I didn’t know it had a normalize feature already though, guess it can just do the work for me then

Technically we have one. It’s called the Google Pixel 3 XL (literally everything runs on it somehow)
