Just for sake of correctness, what the op wants is called normalization, in |
| 2 |
the world of sound edition. |

It can be done once, as you rip the file or it can be done on the fly when |
| 5 |
playing it. "replaygain" is (as the name itself says) an implementation of |
| 6 |
this that automatically adjusts the gain of each soundtrack. But its just |
| 7 |
the name of the concrete implementation, not the name of the process. Just |
| 8 |
like volvo is a brand of cars, but not all cars are branded volvo. |

I,ll add that if you normalize while ripping you are damaging permanently |
| 11 |
the audio files, which in addition to a loussy format like mp3, and cheap |
| 12 |
speakers, can result in a very bad thing, but that really depends on how |
| 13 |
demanding your ear is... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Specially for bands like led zeppelin, I would just use the second method |
| 16 |
(adjust while playing, rather than while ripping). Someday you will want to |
| 17 |
hear the whole disk as it was intended, and if you normalized on ripping |
| 18 |
you won't be able to. |
