How to Keep the Volume Control the Same on MP3s
The volume can fluctuate when listening to MP3 tracks from different artists and recordings. This can cause constant adjustment to the volume on the computer or device. However, it is possible to set the volume control for all MP3 tracks at the same time so it doesn't fluctuate between songs with a simple-to-use application.

Tips & Warnings
When adjusting the audio, if any of the tracks or albums have a "Y" under it, select "Modify Gain" and choose "Apply Max-No-Clip Gain for Album."
When using your MP3 files in iTunes, turn off Sound Check so the two programs don't counteract each other. To do this, click "iTunes," "Preferences," then select the "Playback" tab and uncheck "Sound Check."
