how does one go about making all the songs one burns onto a CD-R the same
volume on playback? I sometimes use the "amplify" feature of Cool Edit to
get the amplitude of waveforms up around 0 dB
but after those songs are burned, there sometimes is a noticeable difference
in playback volume. Is this phenomenon just something you have to live with
because of the "non-linear" nature of human hearing? I've noticed that of
two songs recorded on CD at the same amplitude, the one with only piano at
the beginning, comes out on playback as lots louder.

thanks, ken

Check out Wavegain, based on the new proposed Replaygain standard:
