Any programs that will adjust several songs to the same volume?

[reitz]

My roommate and I have been making mix CD's from our collections for parties. The only problem is that none of the songs seem to be at the same volume. It's not a big deal for the mixes I make for myself from my collection, but it's a real pain in the a$$ to have to keep adjusting the volume during a party.

Does anyone know of a program I could use that will burn them all at the same volume without sacrificing quality? It doesn't have to be a free program; it just has to work well enough to be worth my money. Ideas?

Well you could probably normalize the songs using soundforge or ugh audiocatylst when you rip. As for quality, i think it goes down a bit, but for parties its not gonna matter For music archival not good.

I'm not ripping them to *.mp3's. I was just using Easy CD creator's "extract" function, and then burning them. Would I be better off converting to *.mp3 first?

no way, compression would really mess with the quality. Just find soundforge i guess. oh i forgot to add it maybe possible for audiocatylst to rip and normalize to wav.

There must be a way to Normalize with your burning software ... If there isn't, find new burning software

There is burning software that will do that? Any suggestions?

Oh sure Kranky, didn't anyone ever tell you "if you aren't going to share with the whole class, don't do it."?

Now that you mention it, yeah, I've heard that.

Um, is there a way to tell someone to uncheck their mail?
