This is Xpand 0.1 release.
Xpand is a simple front-end for cdparanoia, notlame, sox and normalize. This Glade/Python GUI uses sox's compand option to amplify the soft parts of the music so that it can be heard in a noisy environment, such as a car. It will also normalize the music to a standard level in case the CD or MP3 was recorded at a low level.
