Normalization
When you listen to mp3 audio music from a playlist you may notice how some songs are more quiet than others. The encoder may have set the input gain too low. On the other hand, some audio files are extremely loud. This is the result of an input gain too high. The same song from two different sources may have entirely different loudness levels. Normalization is the process of analyzing music files and adjusting the gain so that all play at relatively the same loudness. Normalization works great on files with too low of a gain. However, files with excessive gain may be distorted. Distortion occurs if the encoder set the input gain too high past the point of distortion. Such distorted mp3 audio files should be deleted as there is no remedy to recover the audio quality. Distortion blows speakers, not volume!
MP3Gain is a program that will nalyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume.
