Daily Battles: How To Play Different MP3 Songs In Similar Volumes

When you play multiple MP3 songs on your computer, especially the ones you have downloaded off the Internet, it is possible that each song has its own volume. Some might play with such low volume that you can't really hear anything while others might have super high volumes that blow your socks off.

Luckily, computers today are smart enough to figure out what's the generally acceptable volume for human, and can automatically level off the volume, so your socks don't get blown off.

If you are using VLC Media Player (which I am using on a Mac), then it is really easy to set up.

You want to go to the menu and then select the first item on the menu (normally File on Windows computer and VLC Media Player on a Mac), then select Preferences to open the settings window.

It is very important that you click the Show All button at the bottom. Then you get a different screen. Here you want to expand Audio and then select Filters. On the right side, make sure the option "Volume normalizer" is checked as shown below.

Now click Save, and then restart VLC Media Player, and you are all set. All MP3 songs will play at the same volume automatically so you don't have different songs as dramatically different volumes.

If you are not using VLC Media Player, and you are also using a Windows computer, you can also set auto volume leveling at the computer level. It is called Windows Loudness Equalization. You basically want to go to the property page of your speakers and check the "Loudness Equalization" option under the Enhancements tab.




Check out this web page for more detailed instructions if you can't figure it out.

Hopefully, this can be helpful in your problem-solving today. Moving on to the next daily battle!
