For a GUI solution you could use [Audacity][1] but with the proviso that it will work on one file at a time by default. - Free, Gratis & Open Source - Cross Platform - builds available for Windows, OS-X & Linux - Supports multiple formats including FLAC - You could write a [plug-in][2] using Batch Chains to Normalise all of the selected files or a directory worth of files. - GUI based - Can do a lot more of course. For anybody who is not so averse to the command line see the SU question and answer [here][3] for a mechanism that would let you type `ffmpeg-normalize *.flac` in a directory full of such files - of course you could always add a file/directory select GUI to the solution given there will a little effort. Update --- In fact there is an [chains example][4] Example 1 that fits you case well. Constructing a Chain --- To construct the chain that you need: 1. start Audacity with nothing loaded 1. select `File->Edit Chains...` and you get a window like:[![enter image description here][5]][5] 1. On the bottom left select `Add` and you will be prompted for the name, *give it one that makes sense to you and click `OK`*: [![enter image description here][6]][6] 1. Click `Insert` and you will get the Select Command pop-up, Pick `Normalize` and if you feel the need play with the parameters by selecting `Edit Parameters`, *the defaults look quite sensible to me* then click `OK`: [![enter image description here][7]][7] 1. Make sure `-END-` is still selected and then Click `Insert` again and pick your export, *presumably ExportFLAC*: [![enter image description here][8]][8] 1. Your "Edit Chains" window should now look something like the following, if it does click `OK`: [![enter image description here][9]][9] Using you new chain --- 1. Open Audacity with no files loaded *if it is not already open* if any files are loaded select `File->Close` 1. Select `File->Apply Chains...` and on the dialog select your new chain and select `Apply to Files` and then in the file select dialog navigate to the files you wish to convert and select those files. [![enter image description here][10]][10] 1. Depending on the number of files that you selected do one of: watch it in action, go and have a cup of tea, go and have a meal, go to bed for the night. 1. Find your new files in a sub-directory of the original called `cleaned` Important Note --- The **good news** is that your original files are not overwritten so they are safe, the **bad news** is that your original files are not overwritten so the disk space taken **doubles!** I would recommend running on smallish directories of your music/sounds at a time, checking the results to make **sure** that you are happy, then moving the originals to backup media.
