iVolume allows you to level the volume of iTunes songs so they are all equal. It supposively works by using an algorithm based on the percieved volume of human ears, resulting in better volume control and the built-in iTunes `Sound Check` feature.
iVolume uses a very fast algorithm to quickly analyze the volume of its songs. It`s fast, but it`s not very accurate. iVolume will automatically correct the volume information that iTunes has calculated with better values.
Therefore an algorithm is used that is oriented on the perception of the human ears. The result is a huge improvement of the `Sound Check` function. You never have to readjust the main volume again when playing back your songs in random order. This is perfect e. g. for music on partys or hearing songs in random order with the iPod.
iVolume works closely with iTunes. Instead of reinventing the wheel or complicated handling with files at the filesystem level, iTunes is used as the interface to select the songs you want to adjust with iVolume. After selecting songs in iTunes, just switch over to iVolume and hit the `Adjust` button to make the selected songs to the same volume level.
Here are some key features of "iVolume":
· iVolume ensures that all your songs play at the same volume level: iVolume calculates the volume perceived by the human ear for each song of your iTunes music collection. Thereby iVolume gets the most out of the approved Replay Gain algorithm and adjusts your songs accordingly.
· Compatible With Your Digital Life: iVolume integrates seamlessly with iTunes on Mac and PC, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, FrontRow and AirTunes. Most popular audio file formats like MP3, AAC, AIFF and Apple Lossless are supported.
· Blazingly Fast: iVolume takes advantage of newest technologies to fully utilize every core of modern multiprocessor machines for optimal performance.
· Avoids Unnecessary Work: iVolume remembers all results ever calculated. Apply changed adjustment settings without the need for re-analyzing your songs.
· Keeps Albums Intact: By using a sophisticated album detection algorithm iVolume optionally adjusts albums as a whole to keep the intention of the artist. This method is particularly suitable for adjusting gapless live albums.
· Highly Configurable: Create groups to apply individual fine tuned settings to any specified subset of your songs.
· Awesome Usability: All the features above are fun and incredibly easy to use through a modern and clear user interface.
Requirements:
· iTunes 7.0 or later
Limitations:
