Normalize audio

a lot of my music/vids on my PC has different sound levels, other than manually editing each track/vid is it possible to normalize all of my audio, to play at the same volume?

Some media players are capable of this through a feature called "ReplayGain", it'll scan a single track or album and drop a tag in the mp3 with volume information on it.
The player then uses that data to normalise the track/album.

It's just a matter of finding a player that'll handle ReplayGain, I personally use Foobar2000.

For audio ReplayGain + Foobar2000 is the way forward, it won't have to re-encode your audio files so it's quick and you don't lose any quality.

Yep, it should install with the Foobar installer (I think as standard now?).

Select all the albums you want to normalise then right click on them > ReplayGain > Scan Selection as Albums (By Tags).

It'll go through and do its stuff then just press update tags at the end. It works whilst playing files too.
