True, but each time you re-encode an mp3 the sound quality gets a little
worse. The iTunes method is non-destructive but that also means it only
works inside the player. Have to pick the lesser of two evils.

If you are looking for file modification instead of presets, try Audacity. Just
open your file, install the MP3 encoder as described in the documentation, and
then open your file. Go to effects, then amplification, and make your changes,
then export the file to MP3.

A hacky way is to play with the gain on the iTunes equalizer. With EQ on you
can up arrow on the pram vertical slider to add 12dB of gain. It won't announce
the value as you up arrow but 5-6 up arrows should max it out and if you
VO-right and left it should announce 12dB preamp. In addition you can move up
each of the EQ sliders for another 12dB. You can save this as a preset and if
you get info on a track, under the Options tab, you can pick that preset to
bump up the volume for just that track. This is in addition to the Volume
Adjustment on the same Options tab which will let you double to volume on a
track by track basis.

Sorry, I thought my original e-mail would be included in the last one.
I am looking for a program that can boost the sound volume in mp3
files. On the PC, I used mp3gain because it worked better than
soundcheck does in iTunes and amplifies the file itself instead of
just when you listen on iTunes. You could also decide how much to
increase the volume yourself on an individual track, so quieter
ballads weren't louder than they should be.
There's a mac mp3gain but I found it doesn't do anything to the files
one way or another. I'm going to be putting some albums on an iPod
shuffle for someone as a gift and want them to be at a similar volume
level.
I hope this makes more sense now. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not sure what the original question was, but if it's increased volume
you want, try VLC (videolan.org). That app seems to go way above the volume
iTunes or Quicklook can manage, and I usually leave the volume down some to
keep things manageable. Sorry if your question was something different.

Don't mean to pester the list but I was REALLY hoping for a response
to this question. For someone who used a program like this for Windows
so much, I really need the same for the Mac. Does anyone have any
recommendations? I'm a bit surprised that no one has responded so far
given how many people here seem to be manipulating and editing audio.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I found the easy music converter app thanks to a helpful member of the
list here and was hoping luck could strike twice.
Now that I can convert tracks from flac and other file formats easily,
I am in need of a program that can amplify mp3 volume levels. I used
to use mp3gain on the PC, which worked perfectly for this, but found
that mac mp3gain doesn't actually amplify my mp3 files at all. Does
anyone know of a VO friendly mp3 amplifier? I don't want an audio
editor with an amplify option, I'd like something specifically for
amplifying mp3 files.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
