Is there an application that stabilizes the volume level of downloaded mp3 files?
As someone who downloads or buys their music to listen to via VLC, it’s quite annoying when the volume level between files aren’t consistent. Especially when I’m unable to easily to change the volume like when I’m doing physical labor as an example. So it can go from a perfectly reasonable volume, to damaging my ears, and then to where I can barely hear. I was thinking of going in and manually editing them myself to be consistent amongst each other at some point, but then it got me thinking. Is there an application that will equalize the volume on your audio files for you? If not, would anyone else have a use for one besides me? I’d love to know either way.

I use QMP3Gain. It actually changes the bits in the file so the files work with every app and player without needing to rely on tags. However, It also adds tags to the file which let you undo the changes later, if needed (it’s lossless). It has two modes. You can modify all the files in an album equally so that they play at the same relative volume. Or you can modify tracks irrespective of other tracks, which is good for random singles you own. You can drag every full album you own into the UI, and do them all at once in album mode. It works based on tags. Then do the same with all singles you own in track mode. It defaults to 89.0 dB, but I prefer to use 95 dB because some devices just don’t have enough volume. A tiny bit of clipping is imperceptible because decoders account for it. Many of your current MP3s already have clipping, and I’m sure you haven’t noticed. So don’t worry if you see red "Y"s in the clipping column.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
