... can set the average dB of a song

ShinzuiUindo · 26. Dec 2014, 07:51 PM

The car's mp3 player is really simple and I'm already using a script ro randomize the filenames of the mp3s instead of shuffling, but then there is still each song's volume - some of them are quiet, others are loud, and the last thing I should be doing while driving, excluding texting, is adjusting the volume of each song as it plays. I'm looking for a program that I can use to do that in advance without having to guess how much I have to increase/decrease the volume, so it should probably be able to detect a file's average decibels and allow me to change it.

Most windows based CD/DVD burning software will have a function to "Normalise" the relative volumes of music tracks so they all play at the same volume. Dunno about other platforms but you didn't specify

Have a look at MP3Gain: http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

This one appears to be working with the maximum dB found in a song instead of the average, but it does get the job done more or less, thanks.
