My mp3s have different volumes

[hondarider 10+ year member]

I use a mp3 player connected to my hu through the head phone jack and some songs being played off of it are real quiet compared to others and i don't know why. I always have the volume all the way up on the mp3 player then there is still big changes in volume on some songs. Any ideas?

did you download any of them?

Yeah, it depends on how each song was recorded and the bit rate it is at.

it all depends on the song you have...some are recorded at higher levels and some are recorded a little less....also it somewhat depends on your kbp/s ( the quality of the music) and it depends on were you got the song from and what the people who had the song before you did what with it ( we all know your songs are not 100% legal )

depends on where you got them....if you downloaded off the net...it could be the way the person recorded them

different bit rates/overall recording quality will mess up the volume.

Not all Mp3s are recorded at the same db.

Yes i downloaded a lot of them from limewire and i always try to get 128 kbps so just about every song is the bit rate. Is there any way to make them all the same? Maybe a program that will adjust the differences?

I also had this happen to me just converting a song from wma to mp3. I played the song burned to a CD-R which was a wma then i converted it to mp3 and played it through my mp3 player and it was much quieter.

you want 320kbps best you can use on mp3.

you'll notice a big difference in the quality.

Will that fix the volume problem? I only have 1 gig of memory on my mp3 player so i don't really want to use a higher bitrate.
