Normalize ogg vorbis audio volume

I recently ripped most of my CDs to ogg vorbis files, but some CDs came out much louder (or much quieter) than the average. Is there a good tool to normalize the volume? Or a way to rerip with normalized volume? I found vorbisgain / replaygain, but that uses a tag in the audio to tell the player to increase the volume, which not all players support. I also found normalize-ogg, which is 20 years old, so maybe not the best tool. I didn't see anything in the oggenc man page that sounded helpful.

Does anyone have experience with these tools, or a similar tool, and have a suggestion on what to use?

Thanks.

I did some research and ended up with the tag edit, and sort out the player afterwards.

find ~/Music -name "*.ogg" -exec vorbisgain -r -c -s r '{}' +

Maybe try https://github.com/slhck/ffmpeg-normalize (is in the AUR. Already referred to by the previous link above).
