[CoLoCo] another mp3 questions

[Jim Hutchinson]

Okay, I'm having good luck converting flac to mp3 with sound converter.
Great little program. If you haven't checked it out you should. Thanks for
the help with that.

Now I have a new problem. Some of my source CDs are less "dynamic" than
others - particularly older ones. Short of buying remastered versions, is
there a way to "pump up the volume" so to speak? There is a wide variety of
sound levels on the mp3 CDs I've made so far. There used to be a tool in
windows that would scan for the highest peak level and then set the ripper
to just under that level - or something similar, I can't remember exactly.
Is there a tool in Linux that can either rip at higher levels (and not just
a higher bit rate as that seems to have no effect) or that can volume level
a bunch of tracks before burning? I'm sure I could open songs with Audacity
and edit them, but I don't want to do this song by song. I want something
(CLI okay) that will find the peak in a selection of songs and bump up
everything else to be similar.

Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks.
