Actually, I'd like the same thing. I've got a few songs that are recorded by an indie band, and for some reason the tracks are quieter than the rest of my music...

yeah, you can "normalize" it

in soundforge 7, it's under Process -> Normalize

Hmm... I suppose I should get this Soundforge now, eh?

Yes, I can share it on the HUB if you want or not it you want it. It's up in the air really.

Nah, I've already downloaded and installed it from Kazaa.

Thanks, though.

I use a program called MP3 Gain.

Wow, Sound Forge is a MAJOR resource whore.

how?

Go to preferences, click on "effects", and click the check box next to "Sound Check". It makes it so all your mp3s play at the same volume. :nod:
