The joys of mp3gain

How many of you are sick and tired of having to adjust the volume button everytime you are listening to music? It is very frustrating how certain songs on albums tend to be either softer or louder in decibels. It literally drove me crazy four years ago and after doing some research, I finally found an extremely useful program. It is called mp3gain and this small program will analyze as well as adjust any of your mp3 files so they will all have the same volume in dB (decibels). What a blessing this was for me and it is free too! I hated how one song would be 95.7 dB while the next would be 88.2 dB where you are reaching for that volume button. In mp3 gain, you can set all your mp3 files at a certain dB level where it will either add or subtract a certain number of decibels to your mp3 file(s). When you are doing this, try not to increase the volume up too much or part of the audio will sound distorted. Anyways, when mp3gain is applying the changes, they are all lossless meaning that none of the audio's quality is lost. This is due to the fact that the mp3 files are adjusted without having to decode and re-encode. I am aware that music players such as ipods and mp3 players have a smart volume feature but a big problem is that it hogs up about twice as much battery power. Who wants that?! This is when mp3gain comes in very handy and you will be very happy when all your mp3s will be set at the same decibel level.
