Software to level volume in multiple files.

[Parm]

Hi all,

I've been chopping and changing a few mp3 files to make ringtones for my new phone.
I like them all and have transferred them to my phone with suprising ease. However, when playing them on my phone, it's clearly noticeable that certain tracks are a lot quieter than others.
I want to set different ringtones for different people, but there is only one setting for volume. So some I'll hear and others I won't.

Is there any software package that will level the volume for all files in a folder or something similar?

Thanks,
Parm

Indeed there is and it's free and works exceptionally well. http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

Olly1234 beat me to it.

the "replaygain" spec has been about for a while, to add tags to a file to specify how loud or quiet it should be compared to its peers. i use "vorbisgain -afsr /mnt/gir/music" to scan all my music & apply correct tags, every now & again, when they're missing.

you need a complatible player to make use of replaygain, though if you *really* want to edit the source file (and it'll kill the audio quality to do so), any app worth its salt should offer to use the replaygain tags to do so.
