standardising playback volume in downloaded mp3s

Hi
I have downloaded a bunch of mp3s and when I play them back, they range from whisper to loud/distorted.
Is there a simple way of batch converting them to a standard volume level?
thanks in advance

Re: standardising playback volume in downloaded mp3s

I really like a program called MP3Gain, which uses some advanced gain analysis to not just make them the "same volume" but make them in the same "volume range", so that quiet stuff sounds quiet, but you don't have to fiddle with the volume knob. A link:

MP3Gain is a must have. You just beat me to saying it myself.

For sure Nero has a crappy Normalisation function... I used to use it but i'm afraid it doesn't cut the mustard like MP3 Gain does

...or WinAMP + AdaptX and a decent compressor plugin (DirectX that is).

Re: standardising playback volume in downloaded mp3s

Other nice thing about mp3gain is it edits all your mp3's directly, so you don't have to re-save them and delete the original ones.

Can this be stickied somewhere?

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.
