How do you increase volume of MP3 rip? (CDEX)

[AnMig]

Just recently got into ripping my cd's to mp3 format to listen to them in my POCKETPC (jornada 540)

problem is the rips are not to loud. Even if the volume is maxed out its not loud enough (headphones)

I know the signal is not amplified enough, but is there any way to turn up the volume of the MP3 RIP?

I have been using the CDEX pretty much at defaut setting's.

Thanks

Normalizing the mp3's is what you need to do. I believe CDex lets you do that as you rip.

I think CDex's normalizing feature will only make the mp3 quieter.

You can set it to do both. There is a checkbox that allows you to make mp3's quieter or louder depending on the source data, so it kinda evens out all your music so one isn't too much louder or softer than another.

normalize, iirc, takes the top peak of a song and brings it down to the average (normal level). Im not entirely sure, i don't use it.

MP3Gain lets you raise the decibels of the whole song and not just the loudest point. It will raise the volume without introducing clipping.

MP3Gain works great. I was able to increase the volume and equalize all the volumes of my MP3's easily.


the default db of my recordings where 89db,(CDEX , also EAC+LAME) I was able to equalize and increase them to 100db without having any problems.

I tried 105db but the sound became distorted.

Thanks again
