apple has this normalization volume thing during playback, did that worked at all for you? paul Not really. Using iTunes playback, it does a credible job of leveling the volume until it runs into an extreme offender. Then you get blasted, or you can't hear. Sometimes it even takes a track that sounds fine at its normal volume and adjusts it too loud or too soft. The worst problem is in burning custom CD playlists. The results are unpredictable until you listen to the CD. It's a cross your fingers and hope you're not wasting your time scenario. Then, more often than not, you find that you did waste your time. The only solution then becomes to not use iTunes' auto normalization and only group tracks of the same volume into a playlist. The best way to deal with this is to normalize the original iTunes track, permanently. What I may do is re rip the albums in AIFF, perform the surgery in Sound Studio saving back to AIFF, then convert to Apple Lossless or AAC within iTunes. My Sound Studio 2 can do that. It just doesn't save the meta data. I still may buy the newer version as it appears there are many improvements and it is probably more stable.
