Windows Media Player

Auto Volume Leveling

The volume of an MP3 file can be different with another MP3 files. The difference is due to many factors including different sources, methods of “digitalization” (read: how to create audio files) are different, the taste of those who do “the digitalization”, and other factors.

There are ways that so your ear won’t got damaged because of the sudden volume change. You can set all the songs to the same volume. How to do this is real easy, it can be done directly on the latest Windows Media Player that comes with Windows Vista. Here’s how.

1. Run Windows Media Player, click the arrow under the tab “Now Playing”, point to [Enhancement], and then click [Cross fading and Auto Volume Leveling].
2. Click [Turn on Auto Volume Leveling].
3. Play a music files. Windows Media Player will then determine the appropriate volume for the file.
4. Now we will adjust the volume to all the songs in the library of Windows Media Player. Click on the arrow under the tab “Library”, and then click [Add to Library].
5. Click [Advanced Options] and check on the [Add volume-leveling values for all files (slow)]. This process will take depends on the length of the large number of files on the Windows Media Player library.

However this doesn’t change the file. If the file is played in another player or in the portable media player, the volume back to the original volume. Now if you want to change the music files permanently you read my next post “MP3Gain, How to Adjust MP3 Files so They Have the Same Volume”
