Anyone know of a Win app to normalise MP3s ?? I dont want to burn them at the same time or convert to .wav, i jsut want to normalise a load of them.

I used to do this with an old version of Audiocatalyst but i dont have it any more.

MP3 Workshop is a good one. Hasn't been developed for a while but still does the job very nicely thank you :)

Lots of other handy features too and no bloatware in sight :)

Cheers Dunk. I tried Audiocatalyst last night but you have to convert to .wav, then normalise, then convert back to .mp3 which is a ballache !!

Been using this for quite some time, still haven't found anything as feature packed, but simple to use:

Where else can you get all this for free !:

Make MP3 files or WAV files from your CDs.
Decode MP3 files for burning to a CD-R.
Queue structure with processing options for each job allowing power and flexibilty.
Normalize/Change Volume of your MP3 and WAV files.
Change the bitrates of your MP3 files.
Retagger to change the ID3 Tag of a batch of MP3 files.
CD-DB Enabled so you can download CD information from an internet database and save it on your computer to save you typing it.
Proxy Support for CD-DB functions.
Can extract portions of CDs e.g 3 tracks extracted into one file.
Option to shutdown or close program when finished working.
VBR (Variable Bitrate) supported.
LAME encoder included.
Silence Stripping options.

Can pause processing half way through and resume again perfectly.

Can extract from a CD straight to an MP3 with normalization!
Intelligent Normalization for all kinds of jobs.
Unique Visualisation gives a graphic display of the audio being processed.
Shell extensions allow you to encode/decode/resample/retag/change volume directly from Windows Explorer.
Ability to save and load queues.
Jitter Correction for CD-drives which have trouble extracting audio.
Fast CD Extractor and good quality without Jitter Correction.
More resillient to read errors than other rippers.

Options to show and/or keep log of processing.

It's completely free - honestly, no hidden costs or tricks.

Only problem I did encounter was when changing the bitrate of a file, can sometimes corrupt it, so be careful not to overwrite the original file :)

Have you tried audiograbber?
