Can I make all my MP3 files play at the same volume?
Xorys' MP3 FAQThere are a couple of Winamp plugins for normalizing the volume of songs as you play them - they don't actually change the MP3 files on disk at all, they just try to make Winamp play at a "standard" volume. You can download these plugins from the main Winamp site (www.winamp.com). Strangely enough they are not under Plugins / Output (which is where I would have put them) - one is under Plugins / General and the other under Plugins / Effects.

FAQ - CBSRMT Show of the Week - CBS Radio Mystery Theater - ...No, normal CDs are CD-DA format; MP3s are in (yes!) MP3 format. Some new Discman-type players will play MP3s, but most don't like low-bitrate files. That means it will play audio CD-Rs (and even then you might expect hardware/media incompatibility due to different wavelengths used on DVD and CD media). Unless your unit specifically claims to play low-bitrate MP3 files you can assume it will not be able to play them at all. Consult your manual for specifics.
Related QuestionsCan I normalize MP3 files (make them play at a standard volume)?
Xorys' MP3 FAQUnfortunately you can't really normalize the data in the file in MP3 format. You can normalize the *playback* - for example, by using a Winamp plugin such as Audiostocker (available under Plugins - Effects from the Plugins section at www.winamp.com). Or you can decode the file to WAV, normalize the WAV, then re-encode it (but do any editing you want all in one go, or better yet, if you still have the CD, rip it again, since re-encoding will cause some loss of quality).

The New International CD-i AssociationNo. The MPEG audio decoder in the Digital Video cartridge is only capable of decoding MPEG layer I (used for example in the former Digital Compact Cassette - DCC) and layer II (used for example in Video-CD). It is not capable of decoding layer III, the one used in the popular MP3 files. The CD-i's normal CPU (an 68000 at 15 MHz) is not capable of doing this in software, so it probably is out of the question :-(Related Questions

There is a Winamp plugin called Audiostocker which is designed to "normalize" playback volume, but I don't know whether it can be used at the same time as the Disk Writer plugin. Alternatively you could try and use a program that goes directly from MP3 files to burning an audio CD and had normalization functions built in. MP3 CD Maker does, but I could never get that program to work at all, and the help is useless (essentially non-existant).
