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.
