Currently the most popular and used audio format is MP3, both for use on computers, as mobile phones or other devices that we use to listen to our favorite music. Its main problem is that these files have been created and encoded in different ways, so their quality and volume can vary considerably, something that we will notice when playing them.
That is why if we like to listen to music in MP3, it is likely that on more than one occasion we will have noticed how the quality and volume of each file varies depending on its encoding, which causes us to have to adjust the volume between the tracks because they have different degrees of loudness.
To help solve this problem, there are programs with which we can perform a normalization of the audio , so that all the MP3s that are part of the same playlist are played at the same volume
Programs to normalize the volume of MP3s
