Just for sake of correctness, what the op wants is called normalization, in the world of sound edition.
It can be done once, as you rip the file or it can be done on the fly when playing it. "replaygain" is (as the name itself says) an implementation of this that automatically adjusts the gain of each soundtrack. But its just the name of the concrete implementation, not the name of the process. Just like volvo is a brand of cars, but not all cars are branded volvo. I,ll add that if you normalize while ripping you are damaging permanently the audio files, which in addition to a loussy format like mp3, and cheap speakers, can result in a very bad thing, but that really depends on how demanding your ear is... Specially for bands like led zeppelin, I would just use the second method (adjust while playing, rather than while ripping). Someday you will want to hear the whole disk as it was intended, and if you normalized on ripping you won't be able to. --- Jesús Guerrero Botella El 19/05/2012 16:22, <ny6...@gmail.com> escribió: > On Sat, May 19, 2012 at 07:54:10PM +0800, Andrew Lowe wrote: > > Hi all, > > Is there a way to change the "volume" of a mp3/vorbis track?
