Normalize MP3's

[Sparky23]

Anyone here use a program to normalize their mp3 collections. Something that works good without having to reencode or loss of quality?

Thanks for any help,
Sparky

Thanks! I usually do a search but I'm feeling lazy today.

Yep that's the baby I used.....MP3gain....

This Friday as a matter of fact.....Just installed a dedicated MP3 drive and copied stuff over.....

27 Hours it took....

What settings has everyone been using with MP3Gain? 

I have been using Track Gain and a target normal volume of 95dB.

Some albums it ends up increasing the dB, and some it decreases.  Seems like a good in between setting.

That's what I've been using, seems to sound good.

Thats part of my regular plan.

Insure files are tagged properly
Mp3gain to normalize albums
Find album cover
Place in correct Band folder

Im using the default of 89, but have thought about raising it to 95 or so. 16000+ files so far and everything seems to work fine.

Snap....

That's exactly what I do...
