Title: IPod Volume
Post by: oceansoul on 12 December 2009, 17:56:17

All the volumes on my ipod are all over the place. Ive dont the volume equalise thingy in itunes but apparently that just affects the tracks when there played in itunes. I use my pod in the car alot on suffle, and some times i have to have my headunit at 20 to hear a track then the next one comes on blaring out epically loud and prolly damaging my speakers  >:( is there anything i can do to make them all the same volume....tia

There's some freeware stuff that I’ve used a few years back, basically normalizers the audio level of a wav or mp3 file to your required level, ie, 0db or just below it.

Edit: just tried looking for what I use to use but too many Hards Drives ago, try google.

I think the different tracks on his gayPod are all different levels.

So he needs to normalise them, and reupload to gayPod

I use the cheaper option, Alpine headunit with Aux input (3.5mm) standard headphone jack.

I have a 3.5 lead comming out from the back of the head unit, which connects to my phone mounted by the side of the radio, to play my MP3 tunes  8-)

Never possessed an iPod or iTunes so I can’t vouch for it, but have a look here:

Check the precedence settings, default is iPod overwrites library. (eg when you rate a track 5 stars, it updates your library) So when you plug iPod back in, it resets all your track volumes.

Either alter the precedence settings, or factory re-set your iPod and re-copy all tunes
