A reader has asked for solution on how to make an existing mp3 file louder. From my experience, I did realized inconsistancy in volume of mp3 files in my mp3 collection and it was troublesome to change the volume slider for each song with different loudness.
What I did to rectify this problem was simple. I altered the loudness of the mp3 file, since originally, the mp3 file’s amplitude was predetermined by the recording company. The software that I used, MP3Gain analyzed mp3 files to determine how loud they sound to human ear and then adjusted the mp3 files so that they have the same loudness without any quality loss.
-
Download MP3Gain (freeware) from sourceforge and install the software.
-
If you receive this error; “component ‘MSCOMCTL.OCX’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid” ; download this additional file and install it.
-
Run mp3 gain
-
Drag the file to mp3 gain window, click on track analysis, and adjust the volume of the mp3 file according to your preference.
-
Click Track Gain and play the modified file using your mp3 player.
Here’s the sample of mp3 file that I’ve edited. Hope this solution works for the reader who asked the question.
. I don’t want this software to be like Windows...

Or you can use MediaMonkey automatic audio level function if you don’t want to make the changes permanent.

In my opinion it’s a reliable authority.
It’s a natural! Thanks.

Hi friend,
I am using this route for contacting you as your contact form does not seems to work. I am using your wordpress theme on my blog. It’s an excellent theme. However, I have been informed by some of my readers that this theme breaks in the 800×600 resolution on IE. Since most of my readers are from India, a break in theme in IE means loss of many visitors. Can you please look into the matter and do a fix of this problem. I really liked this theme and don’t want to change it.
Regards
Eklavya

Guys, i guess you just need this url – http://www.grab-tube.com/mp3-volume
upload your mp3 file and this service will make it louder with no quality loss. It just modifies the headers so it’s easy and safe

Ehhhh sucks. The highest setting is 105 db, I want MORE
January 7th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Eugene that’s retarded, it’s great if you have a collection of 10 songs, but i’ve got thousands
January 7th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
I take it back, doesn’t suck. Most songs I have were already 100 db, but some were only around 60 and volume of the song improved. Thanks.
