Hey,

I'm not an audio expert and not sure if there's a proper term for this so struggling to search on Google...  But basically the volume, treble and bass through USB is all over the place.  So one song is really quiet and tinny, next one is loud and bassy...  Is there a way to level all this through the stereo somehow?  

It's a mk3 PFL with Titanium Sony unit.

Cheers

it could be all your mp3s on your usb stick have been copied at diffrent bit rates hence the problems your haveing with quality

I use MP3Gain to normalise the volume of the mp3 files on the usb stick, this makes the volume of all of the files similar without destroying the quality of the sound in the files.

You can get MP3Gain here: http://download.cnet.com/windows/mp3gain/3260-20_4-113429-1.html

Mp3 gain is usually quite good, but for the love of god don't get it from cnet. You're asking for adware at that point. Don't trust any website that hides the software behind their own downloader, that's really dodgy as they usually like to bundle some other stuff in there too without you knowing.

Shame the stereos don't accept Flac though, some of us appreciate having lossless audio and don't mind 30mb per song lol.

Thanks all, I didn't even think about being able to change it on the USB itself lol...

Could you post a safer link to that program Luke?

Straight from their website: http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net

Hasn't been updated for neary 9 years, but then again a basic freeware tool shouldn't need updating every 2 weeks.

Been a few years since I've used it and can't really remember what the best way to go about everything was.

I initially downloaded mp3gain-win-1_2_5 but it wouldn't install, so went to mp3gain-win-full-1_2_5 (which includes the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time files). I have Windows 10, latest version.

Currently running Track Analysis, which is taking a long time as have 80GB of Audio.

MP3Gain is a good programme, I used to use it a while ago, but bear in mind that tracks that have been mastered differently may still sound quieter than others, even though you've set the gain on them to match. I'd personally just use the default option of 89 and see how you go

Forgot to update this, I did use MP3Gain and it worked well.
