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

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:
