Thanks for replying so quickly, Wolfgang. I think I will try MP3Gain, but I still think this may need to be implemented in the future.

Easy solution:

Either analyze the volume for your files in MediaMonkey and use the volume adjusting in the menu. This way you only add a tag to the files which says MM how loud that song should be played in relation to the others. Switch off this option in the menu and listen to original volumes again. Files don't get changed except that change in the tags. Disadvantage is that this only works in MM because most other players ignore this tag. So if you transfer the files to a portable player, they have their original volume.

Alternative: Use MP3Gain to level your files. That freeware program can level MP3 files without re-encoding and is able to undo his own changes, so there is no quality loss involved if you want to change your files back to original volume.

Undo Volume Leveling

I am always scared to use volume leveling because I think some songs are quiet or loud for a reason. There needs to be an option that allows you to undo any volume leveling you did if you don't like the way it sounds.
