shntool is a multi-purpose WAVE data processing and reporting utility. File formats are abstracted from its core, so it can process any file that contains WAVE data, compressed or not – provided there exists a format module to handle that particular file type.
shntool has native support for .wav files. If you want it to work with other lossless audio formats, you must have the appropriate helper program installed. The “Helper programs” section below contains links to helper programs for each format that shntool supports.

foo_truepeak is a ITU-R BS.1770-5 compliant True Peak scanner. It can also scan ReplayGain, Loudness Range (LRA), Dynamic Range (DR), show the amount of clipping samples and report the position of highest peak.
For users primarily concerned with playback quality and simplicity, foo_truepeak can replace foobar2000’s ReplayGain and DR scanners. It uses modern loudness standards, detects true peaks and can write all relevant tags in a single pass. While its ReplayGain and DR values may not exactly match legacy scanners, they are more appropriate for real-world playback on modern systems.
In foobar2000, open File → Preferences → Components.
Click Install…, select the foo_truepeak.fb2k-component file.
Restart foobar2000 when prompted.
2. Disabling legacy scanners (optional but recommended)
To avoid confusion or duplicate workflows:
Don’t try removing the ReplayGain scanner as it’s built in.
You can uninstall foo_dr_meter and or foo_dynamic_meter.
This keeps foo_truepeak as your single analysis tool.
3. Open foo_truepeak preferences
Go to File → Preferences → Advanced →Tools → True Peak Scanner
4. Ensure the following is enabled
✔ Scan True Peak Values
True peak scanning accounts for inter-sample peaks created during digital-to-analog conversion, ensuring that peak levels reflect what a real DAC actually outputs, not just what is stored in the file.
5. Enable ReplayGain scanning
✔ Scan ReplayGain values
Notes:
Gains are derived from EBU R128 loudness, but written as ReplayGain tags.
Peaks are true peaks, not simple sample peaks.
Playback normalization works normally in foobar2000.
6. Enable Dynamic Range scanning
✔ Scan Dynamic Range (DR) values
Notes:
These values are analytical, not official TT DR Meter values.
They are suitable for comparison within your library, not for DR Database submissions.
7. Choose tag writing behavior
✔ Use ReplayGain tag fields for peak and gain
8. Run a True Peak scan
Select a track, tracks or albums in a playlist.
Right-click → True Peak Scan.
You can also create custom buttons on the toolbar for Album or Track scans.

Cdparanoia is a Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) tool, commonly known on the net as a ‘ripper’. The application is built on top of the Paranoia library, which is doing the real work (the Paranoia source is included in the cdparanoia source distribution). Cdparanoia reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the data to a file or pipe in WAV, AIFC or raw 16 bit linear PCM.
Cdparanoia is a bit different than most other CDDA extration tools. It contains few-to-no ‘extra’ features, concentrating only on the ripping process and knowing as much as possible about the hardware performing it. Cdparanoia will read correct, rock-solid audio data from inexpensive drives prone to misalignment, frame jitter and loss of streaming during atomic reads. Cdparanoia will also read and repair data from CDs that have been damaged in some way.
Cdparanoia is easy to use and administrate; It has no compile time configuration, happily autodetecting the CDROM, its type, its interface and other aspects of the ripping process at runtime. A single binary can serve the diverse hardware of the do-it-yourself computer laboratory from Hell.
