Hello
 
  I have several thousand mp3 and most of them are riped at different volumes. I was wondering if there is a program out there that i can run on my mp3 folder that will make all the mp3 in that folder one volume. If anyone has any info or suggestions on this please let me know.

          Thank in advance for any help

Believe Mp3Gain  is what you want. It will adjust your mp3 files loudness/quietness(?) so they will all be the same. For some information on normalize or mp3gain read up at the above web site.

No. It's a lossless process. If anything sounded worse to you after applying ReplayGain to the files, it would be nothing but a typical placebo effect caused by the decreased volume on modern, extremely loud recordings.

But don't remove the tags... or else you won't be able to revert the normalization ever again.

Not true. You can write the values down somewhere and revert manually. (Although I doubt that's really needed..)
