Advice 4 normalising mp3's?

[dvndave]

Hi Guys,

Anyone any ideas as how to normalise the volume on my various computer resident mp3's? Iv'e got loads of cd tracks that I ripped to my hard drive but listening to them with winamp is painful cos the volume is so different between tracks. Obviously I would prefer a freebie prog but I'm so desperate that I might even buy one! A pal lent me Nero to try before buying but I find it difficult to burn music dvd's and can't find out how to normalise, (the normalise feature is greyed out).

Incidentaly this is not a computer prob cos if I load the cds into my normal hi-fi player withought altering the volume, different cds have massively different levels.

Any ideas please?

MTIA

Cheers

Dave

Hi,

I'd spend my money on Soundforge

if you've got the money buy the full version of Soundforge 7.0 - you really won't regret it and the options for normalising are awesome but if you are on a budget then the Audio Studio is more than capable.
