Equalizing song volume for entire library

Hey folks,
Does anyone know if there is a way to equalize the volume of every song in my iTunes library so that they all play back at the the same volume on my iPods?
Most of the CDs I've loaded into iTunes play back at about the same level on my iPods but some play at a very low volume. I was hoping that I could highliht the entire library and click something that would stabelize the volume of each and every individual song so that they are all at the same level and I wont have to keep manually adjusting the volume on my iPods.

You can turn on Soundcheck in iTunes and on your iPod.
Or you can try a 3rd party solution like MP3Gain: http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

Increasing sound volume for entire iTunes library

Hey peeps, this might sound like a stupid question to ask, but here goes...
I regularly amend the volume of individual albums by selecting all the desired songs in iTunes and turning the sound volume up in Options.
I want to amend the sound limit of every single song in my iTunes library to +100%. Is there an easy way to do this without cmd+ clicking each song? I have over 12,000 songs. I want to know if there is anyway this can be done in Preferences, or if there is a way to scroll and select songs quickly!
Many thanks to anyone with any ideas!

Click on the first song in your library to highlight it then go to Edit>Select All. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info to access the Options tab for the whole selection.

Any way to redo "Determining gapless..." for entire library?

I have iTunes7 installed and it's working flawlessly. I know about the gapless checkbox option in the song options area. However, is there any way to have iTunes7 go back through teh entire library like it does when you start it up for the first time?
I am using Libra to manage multiple libraries so while this process was done on the first library when I first opened iT7, it didn't do it when I switched to anotrher library. So, I was trying to see if I could force the process to repeat on this secondary library but didn't see any option for it.
Anyone know? Thanks.

This seems to be an issue with ALL online book order places. Every one of them uses these stupid random templates at start up and then none give you any way to change all the pages at the same time. I too have wrestled with this and still don't understand why they think we want every page completely randomly picked and that we couldn't possibly want the same layout through out the book.
I feel your pain and don't have a good answer for you.

Change all referenced files in Aperture for entire library?

Hi experts...
All my Aperture files are on an external HDD and I had to copy everything over to a new drive recently. The old drive was called "photos", the new drive is called "My Passport". Without thinking about it, I made the new directory structure a bit different. On the old drive, my structure looked like this:
Volume = photos
File Path = photos/year/month/name_of_project/original_files.NEF
On the new drive, the structure is like this:
Volume = My Passport
File Path = year/month/name_of_project/original_files.NEF
When I started poking around in some of my projects, I found that Aperture told me that the originals were either missing or offline. I figured out how to reconnect all the originals in a given project - but I've got several hundred projects and reconnecting everything is going to be tedious and time consuming.
Is there a way (either through the program or via a script) that I can tell Aperture, essentially..."hey, for all the images in my library where the master used to be on drive 'photos' at <filepath>, they're now on drive 'My Passport' at <same filepath name except for top level directory>."
Alternatively, if I rename my new drive to "photos" and then put all the 'year' folders under a directory called 'photos', will Aperture be able to find everything magically?

A HA!!!!
I believe that did the trick. Aperture is chunking through all the referenced files now and reconnecting them...so I wait. But I'm pretty sure this will work, now that I think about it.
Once all the images are done reconnecting I'll come back and mark this as "correct answer". Thanks!

"orginal file cannot be found" message for entire library!!

I recently purchased a new Gateway. I had a Maxtor One Touch III external hardrive for my old computer. I hooked it up to the new one and downloaded the necessary stuff to make it work with Vista. It worked for a couple of weeks. Now everytime I click on a song it gives me the message that file cannot be found would you like to locate it?. Once I locate the song in My G drive (Maxtor External) the song plays. The problem is I have over 20,000 songs and don't want to have to do that every time. Is there a way to locate the whole library all at once. Please help.

Is this what you tried...

Multiple Storage Volumes For 1 Library

Hi folks.
I have filled my first drive. Any way I can use space on another drive to put further music, while keeping one single library?
Cheers

it is not possible without WM.
As workaround :
You either create for each storage bin a storage location,
or
you active batch management and let the batch work as bin.

IPhone 4s set to manually sync, but every time I try to put a single song on my phone it downloads my entire library. How do I sync individual songs without downloading entire iTunes library?

I recently purged my iPhone 4S of most of its music because I didn't have enough gigabytes of free space to download the latest iOS (my phone was actually completely full). That ticked me off but I didn't have time for a backup. I transferred all purchases to my library and I deleted the music from my phone.
Since then, I've been annoyed that I don't have all my music but I've been enjoying the free space that I have, so I prefer to restore songs from my library individually now, depending what I'm in the mood to hear, and I don't miss having a full phone.
However, whenever I try to manually sync music that was ripped from a CD, music I didn't download from iTunes, but is playable in my iTunes library, iTunes thinks it has to download the entire library, which I don't even have the space for, anyway. However, my iPhone seems fine wirelessly (I have Home Sharing turned on) syncing individual songs which were purchased in the iTunes store.
So whenever I try to sync a single song, or an album perhaps, which was not purchased on iTunes, I get the message "updating files on iphone" and it says it's copying all the thousands of songs in my entire library. But my settings are for manual sync only. I wind up cancelling the sync every time, because I would have to wait for it to finish copying thousands of songs before it got to the one I selected. Why on earth is it doing this?
How do I regain the ability to sync a single song at a time?
This has been exasperating me.

While your iPhone is synching in iTunes, do the following:
1. Click on your iPhone's icon on the left.
2. Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
3. Choose the synch option you would like.

Always "Determining Song Volume"

I've just updated to iTunes 7.3 and have noticed that it seems iTunes now Determines Song Volume for Podcasts as well as tracks? Maybe it did that before? ... But it sure has dragged to a crawl for the first time ever and is really focusing on determining the song volume of the podcasts that just downloaded. Long podcasts = big files = very slow.
I've shut off Sound Check in the preferences ... it still is Determining Song Value when I fire iTunes back up. It won't not do it ... unless I can quickly click the "x" button in the display window at the top of the app.
Anyone else seein' this? Tips?

Ever since updating iTunes whenever I launch it all of my songs and podcasts go through 'determining song volume' EVERY TIME!! What is up with that?
I have deselected sound check...not sure if that will do the trick or not. But after reading the above post, I'm not hopeful.
As I type this the VERY SLOW song volume thing drags on.................

How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod. Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos. iVolume is available on the Mac App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

Is there a way to see on my iPhone my entire library (more than 2.000 CDs) without having all the files stored? I've noticed that, for mistake, I had some songs of my library in grey (the mp3 was not working)

Why does iTunes transfer my entire library of music every time I transfer one album or song to my iPhone?

I've lately been having this issue with my iPhone. When I go to transfer a newly purchased album or song from my iTunes library on my Macbook Pro to my iPhone 5 my ENTIRE LIBRARY is transferred to my iPhone. I have it checked so I can manually manage my music and videos in the settings in iTunes when I plug in my iPhone but it still transfers everything. It's really frustrating and I would like for it to not do that. My iPhone doesn't have enough memory to save all 3,000 songs on my phone unless if I had no apps or texts or emails or anything. Is there anyway to get this to stop happening? I've read that if you uncheck all the songs you don't want it won't transfer them but is that the only solution? Its really frustrating having to redelete all the music I don't want off my phone every time it does this.

Go to the music tab, select sync music, select the music to sync and sync.
Have a look at the manual:

I have an iPod classic that syncs my entire library, I'd like to buy a smaller iPod, a nano maybe for the gym. Can I use the same library or do I need to set up a new library for the 2nd iPod? Is that possible? I mean for one to have 2 iTune librarys?

In other words, no. You don't need another iTunes Library for your new iPod
Another iTunes Library, that's only if someone elses music is mixed in with yours and you want to create another Windows user account with their music in it.
The iTunes Library is the master vault containing all your content, from there you create playlists or smart playlists specially tailored for the smaller iPod's storage requirements.
For instance if the iPod can hold only 2,000 songs, then you create a smart playlist based upon those rules/limitation. Plus what type of music you like.
You have a incredible degree of control with smart playlists, they update automatically so you only set the conditions for what goes into them. Including content from other created playlists and smart playlists.
Then, when you hook up the smaller iPod, it has it's own sync options, "all of your music and playlists" or "only select playlists" So you use the second option to select just the smart playlist you tailored for the new iPod.
When you hook up the iPod Classic, only it's sync options are used, not the new iPod ones.
I hope I explained it better this time.
