If you're looking specifically for software which will put songs on a
similar output level (so one doesn't seem louder than the others, or
vice-versa), I've found the open-source 'MP3 Gain
(http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/) works fantastically. It alters the
levelling of the file, without tampering with the integrity or quality
of the file.

It's free, and definately worth a look see. www.godrock.co.nz uses it
for their internet stream if you want to get an idea of it's
capabilities are.

Cheers,
Herb.

like www.burnill.co.uk software based processing for the price of it,
free. I also the sound of it and configuration abilities. It's PC
based and requires some horses, but check it out if you haven't done
so yet if you've got PC's to spare.

gain (yes CD's before they were compressed within a decibel of their
life).
