Well some of my MP3 were loud and some were not so loud so when I made a CD I was sitting in the car and turning up the volume on a lot of songs and sometimes with the volume at full the song might not be loud enough for my liking. Well I was looking around and found a wonderful little program. Easymp3gain. It just takes a bunch of mp3 and normalizes them all to a set decibel level. I don't have a car amplifier so I set it for 100 decibels and I clicked in options prevent clipping so I don't overdue some so that they sound fucked up later. I found when trying to add songs unless they were in my home folder I couldn't navigate to my USB drives at all since the folders were greyed out and non responsive. Instead of fucking around with permission for the program I instead opened my file manager then highlighted all files in a folder then drag and dropped them into the program. Then you have to choose file then select all then all files are ready to be changed "this is lossless so they sound the same but louder". I then click the button analyse and that is the most time consuming process where it finds the decibel level and makes sure there will be no clipping and that takes around 2 seconds for a normal size file each so 100 files will take around 3 or 4 minutes to analyse. Now for the changing the files, click the modify gain button and choose apply track gain and it's fly through 2 or 3 files a second. When it's done click remove select files. Then you can go to another folder. I dragged maybe 30 folders of groups with 10 or more songs each and did that all at once and it just edits the original file without re-encoding at all. This is really great if you have an mp3 player also since you can set the volume and not have to adjust it if it's all files you've run through this program already.
PS this program will also fix volumes of AAC and VORBIS audio files though AAC is restricted to 89 decibels for some reason.
