Unfortunately, that only works with mp3 files.

Since the OP explicitly mentions ogg, I can only recommend foobar2000.

That said, if OP is willing to transcode his ogg (and flac, if any) coll= ection to mp3, then I agree that mp3gain is the best, failsafe alternative = (i.e., since it tweaks the "global gain" parameter of the mp3 fil= e, virtually all music players will be compatible).
