Got a fair old library of mp3's

Would like to normalise em, so they all play at a similar volume.

Anyone found any good software for this, know there are loads out there.

Would be nice if it also 'worked out' what the song is and filled in the missing Tag info.


Cheers for any advice

There's a program called "Goldwave" that will normalise and tag .. it'll use title to read the tinternet to get tag info and can be set to work "batches" ... not sure how good it is but I used it a lot in the past for some hospital radio work where the quality required was not stupendous ...

Audio Engineering geek moment...


be advised, "normalising" is a process which sets the peak level, NOT the average level... to be close to,  or at -0dBFS , (or some other pre-determined nominal value)  so that the loudest transients in the audio will be the same level....   this does NOT mean the tracks will play back at the same level....   as the perceived volume is more closely related to the average level over time, not the maximum level of a transient peak.

In the iTunes playback preferences menu, there isa feature called Soundcheck.

If i recall correctly this tries to match playback level of tracks by perceived volume/average level, rather than just peak level....

whether or not this will have any impact on a CD of tracks burnt from within iTunes, I don't offhand know.....  but it would seem reasonable that it might....   should be worth a try, especially as it's free....

Some food for thought there, cheers

Nero itself can do....when burning an audio CD.

My trouble is I am creating a data disk, full of mp3's.

I know nothing will be perfect, but any volume adjusting it saves will be a benefit.
