Does anyone know of an app for Mac OSX or OS9 that can equalize at least the volume of a bacth of mp3.
I've got a buch of mp3's, all diff. volumes and I want to burn a CD, but I'd like for it all to be even when I burn it.
Know what I mean?
Any help would be appreciated.

There are differences in volume, both real and apparent, from song to song and album to album. Some is due to mastering technique. You won't be able to do anything about that. Two different songs peaking at 0 dB can sound, volume-wise, very much different.

The reason you don't notice these differences on the radio is because the stations broadcast through processing like compression and limiting.

A lot of mp3s you get from 'sharing' with your 'peers' are poorly made and the volume differences are due to that.

The only way I know how to change the level of an mp3 is to convert it to an AIFF, change it with one of many apps, then convert it back to mp3. It will probably sound like crap, too.
