I am very fond of iTunes/ music of a vast variety and genre.
Often, I find that the volume of a particular number is a bit too low.
I am not really deeply into audio management etc, but would like to be able to EASILY tweak a volume to the level I want.
I operate on a Mac Apple, OS 10.4.9.
Any ideas/ hints?

The Mac version of MP3gain can have issues with some files. Read the Sourceforge notes and make plenty of backups!

Thanx a bunch for the prompt responses!:D
As advised, will do a 100% backup of all iTunes files before I venture into the MP3gain s/w.
cheers

Is there not a volume adjustment slider under 'Get Info' and 'Options' for each track? Or do you need more oomph than this?

Kestrel, :confused:!!
Get Info/Options/Volume Slide? Have no idea how to get there!!
Unless I am missing a trick, are you still talking about iTunes on Mac OSX?

have you tried ticking the 'sound check' box under audio options in itunes? This should cause itunes to try and level the volume of your mp3's so that they're reasonably consistent.
I don't use itunes but media player has something similar and it works very well, as does my creative MP3 player - hopefully this will work for you.

seekayess,
Apologies, I was referring to Windows:ugh: No experience with MAC, though Get Info in the Windows version is with a right click on the track.
Sorry.

Yes, this has been done from the very beginning.
What I want to try and do is that there are some tunes/music, especially the classicals, that could do with a touch more than the max control I have on iTunes. :confused:

I have d/l the s/w.
When I run it, I am required to select the file that needs to be worked upon. And then, the program does something in the background: one can't see what, and then, that is that!!
There is no hands-on, visual control in this, as one is used to with the Mac!! :confused:
Any advice?
