I did this long ago with sox. Sox can be embedded in a shell script to rip, adjust the volume and encode. . In the script, to adjust the volume: 1. call "sox<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... stat -v" and save the result to a shell variable. 2. parse the shell variable for the actual volume 3. call 'sox infile outfile vol "volume"' . This makes sox adjust the volume to the maximum available, without distortion. However, this won't solve everything. If a song has a low average level, but occasional strong peaks relative to another song then there will still be an audible difference.
