As someone who downloads or buys their music to listen to via VLC, it’s quite annoying when the volume level between files aren’t consistent. Especially when I’m unable to easily to change the volume like when I’m doing physical labor as an example. So it can go from a perfectly reasonable volume, to damaging my ears, and then to where I can barely hear. I was thinking of going in and manually editing them myself to be consistent amongst each other at some point, but then it got me thinking. Is there an application that will equalize the volume on your audio files for you? If not, would anyone else have a use for one besides me? I’d love to know either way.

    You will want to use something like Foobar2000 to scan the files then write replaygain metadata to each file.

    Then you enable replaygain in VLC and it should work as you want.
