Using Sox to volume Level

Using Sox to volume Level

[blinux-list]

I have a playlist which I want to have all at the same volume; some tracks are loud and some are so quiet I have to crank. Not conducive for a smooth listening experience. What can I pass to sox to have this directory of files leveled?
for f in *.mp3;do sox --insert-fun-options-here "$f";done
Like that.

Well, an only solution I can suggest is a package called "mp3gain" which has a 
normalize option, but be sure and select an option to make the changes 
permanent, otherwise after a reboot, your songs will reset.

there is the normalize-audio package, which works on wav, mp3, and ogg
vorbis according to it's description in Aptitude, and might work on
FLAC given that it recommends the flac package. I've never used it
directly, but persumably, it'll be more straight forward than using
Sox given that it does specifically what you want whereas sox is more
of a general audio editing toolbox.

for f in *.mp3;do sox "$f" tmp.mp3 norm&&cp tmp.mp3 "$f";done
