Any software to be able to have volume raised in the MP3 when burning?

maybe this installation is different? I don't know. 99% of my songs are new. I recently burned then again on CD's. It's no 100 albums, roughly 15 only.

Lord Willing, if I can get a good desktop early next year, I will have a lot more fun with Linux. I think the laptop is just dying out. Linux has worked very well in the past, but an oldie laptop like this, I think it's beginning to see its last days.

in laptops is very common that the optical drive dies after 2 or 3 years, sometimes earlier

on those cases a external usb drive is perfect, it will let you rip songs and it will be cheaper than replace the laptop or the drive that sometimes is complicated to change

It certainly is older than 2 years. I'm thinking of buying a desktop though. I have a smartphone, and mac if this dies before I can get a new computer.

This computer has wifi issues too I think. the Feb of '12 edition of PCLinux has the wifi go in and out at times. newest one, august of '12, it doesn't show any SSID if down. and if it comes up, only mine is shown.

Here's a program I'm quite familiar with.   Just plain old command line
"normalize" which is in Synaptic.    Works with mad or lame for mp3's.
But you have to do it on files on the HD.

I had several directories I was having problems with and ran normalize
from the command line at a -20 setting, the clipping setting is set at default
-6.    Voila, no more volume setting problems.   But hardware could cause
low volumes on playback, not the files themselves.

Some computers have better speakers than others, but the headphones
at a -20 setting seem to be quite equal, averaged, loud without distortion,
etc..

Try it on a few files, if you go up to -15 volume increases, but so does
clipping activity distortion.

I can't say enough good things about Dell Precision Workstations when it comes to running Linux.  Some of these, like the 690 I have, are BIG and HEAVY, with 1KW power supplies.  Shop carefully, and look at the smaller form factor units like the 390, the 490, and the T5400 series.  The 490 and T5400, especially, are Xeon equipped and blazing fast, even with one processor.  These can be had refurbished for under $300.00, with decent hard drives and excellent video cards.

What kind of laptop are you using?  I have a spare DVD/CD-RW combo drive for a Dell Latitude D series laying about... (it will read but not burn DVDs, writes and reads CD-R/RWs.)  If that would help, let me know in PM, please, and we'll get it to ya.

Later On,
