MP3: how do you make all songs play at same volume?

[mbt]

yung ibang songs ko kasi ang hina ng volume, yung iba naman ang lakas, so i have to adjust the volume for each song (winamp) when they play... is there a way to increase the volume of the mp3 file itself para lahat ng songs ko at the same volume na?

[artpogi]

mbt,

AFAIK, when ripping audio CD's into MP3's, make sure that your encoder or software that you use in converting audio CD's into MP3's is set to "CONSTANT BIT RATE" (CBR) not "VARIABLE BIT RATE" (VBR).

Sometimes when encoding your MP3's using VBR will give you exactly that, inconsistent volume for every track.


HTH

agree ako kay artpogi... gawin mo 192kbps para near cd quality na.

tapos pag gagawa ka ng audio cd, click mo normalize para pare-pareho volume ng lahat ng tracks mo.

[mbt]

yeah, i always rip at 192 kbps, CBR...

but may ibang songs kasi na mahina talaga, may iba naman na malakas talaga at the same winamp volume setting...

meron bang normalization in the player, like i-normalize niya volume ng whole playlist or something?

[ssaloon]

sa winamp ata wala eh... sa nero meron yun

One word:

NORMALIZE!

CBR and VBR affect quality. They have nothing to do with volume.

Nope. No problems. The process is completely reversible too.

The nice thing about this program is that it can do analysis for entire albums as well. Good for stuff like Pink Floyd albums or musicals where the loud songs are supposed to stay loud and the quiet ones are supposed to stay quiet.

if my memory serves me right, may option din yata ang itunes na "play all songs at same volume"

Ngayon ko lang uli naalala yung kailangang gawin ko sa MP3s ko. Download ko na rin yung tool.

Thanks sa lahat.

nice tool. downloading to test.

agree with master yoda's old comment, though
bitrate is about quality not volume.
may the force be with you.
