What works for us (YMMV) is to use a free pgm called "mp3gain". We use mp3 as our final song file output and then use the mp3 gain pgm to adjust to uniform volumes. I might not be understanding what your goal is. When we are playing we certainly would not have time to adjust volumes for each and every track let alone the song as a whole. I just want to play, keep in contact with the audience, and make sure I'm using the right song on the stand.

I know what you mean about songs acquired via the net. I always make a number of changes to those. I normalize all of my audio files through WavePad, a free program such Audacity before using the mp3 gain pgm. Good luck!
