Is there any sort of plug-in for Audacity that will give you a "loudness" evaluation, like MP3Gain does, without requiring a separate program? That might make this whole process easier to understand and simpler to implement.

You could try posting to the Adding Features to Audacity forum at the Audacity forums. A lot of people (especially Mac users, for whom there is nothing similar to MP3Gain for Windows) would thank them if they added this feature.

Perhaps you should write to the author of MP3Gain (or Replay Gain) and beg them to produce a "display-only" plug-in for Audacity.

Hey, I think I'm going to try that!!

Update:
I did track down the writer of the original program, in a forum that he frequents, and sent a message appealing for help for Librivox to him, but haven't received an answer. He probably is beseiged by such requests.

Ruth's idea is probably a much more sensible idea (hers usually are), since it would probably be someone else that writes it if it ever gets written.

But it was a fun bit of huntsmanship tracking him down, anyway.
