Unfornately, the volume of each song is difference.
Anything i can do or any software available to adjust to the same volume before i record them?

MusicMatch Jukebox seems to work for this guy.

Most of my collection was ripped with MMJB, using various revs of MMJB starting with 6.1 up to 7.5. From experience I can tell you the MMJB volume leveling function is primitive at best. I don't know if it is lossless or not but it certainly does a very poor job.

I had a particular problem with "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner where the highs were very shrill sounding on the iHP-120 but sounded fine on my older hard drive player Archos 6000. It sounded so bad that I thought it was my headphones and started looking for other phones.

I later found out the "shrill" highs were actually a phenomenon called "clipping". I read a post about a program called MP3Gain (freeware) that does a lossless adjustment of volume and eliminates clipping. 80% of my MMJB tracks had clipping even though I had checked the "volume leveling" function, apparently this function does nothing for clipping.

I downloaded it and applied the "max album gain without clip" to the Foreigner album and voila! the clipping was gone and the album sounded great. The volume/clip adjustment is completely reversible and is easily removed.

The program recommends a target gain of 89dB but that will result in too low volume on the iHP-120 players, I recommend a setting of 92 and if you apply the "max album gain without clip", the tracks should all have max volume and won't have any clipping.

MMJB is crude at best but MP3Gain is the "cat's meow" as my dad used to say...not really sure what that means..

To be honest, having used MMJB and other rippers, I strongly suggest that you start downloading some of the free ones, links are all over this site but you can Google for CDex, my personal favorite, and dBpoweramp, which may be the easiest to use. Both use LAME MP3 encoder which is much better than MMJB's encoder.

MMJB is so big mainly because they got themselves loaded onto just about every flashplayer CD and on most OEM computers, like Dell, HP, etc, and not because they are the best....it took me a while to get familiar with the newer rippers and I am still learning but VERY PLEASED with the results..

If you are using Nero, burn using Nero Express and when you choose Audio CD, click on "Normalize All Audio Files"
