I'm looking for a free software tool that can help me adjust the volume of all my music files. I've moved away from Apple Music because of its frequent glitches and lack of support, and now have my iTunes collection on my PC. While it's not perfect, transferring songs to my iPhone via iTunes is working better than before. Most of these files are MP3 or M4a. I'm hoping for a program that can normalize the volumes easily, like MP3gain or Audacity, so I can edit all my music at once without having to do it one by one. This would make the process much more efficient and reliable.

The files come in various formats including MP3, Ogg, Apple lossless, and FLAC. What?

Sorry, missed where you mentioned MP3 or M4a. It seems you're unlikely to find a tool that handles both formats simultaneously, though you might manage them separately. Maybe you could try all MP3 files first and then the M4A ones if possible. What you need is a "batch normalizer" and there are several tools that can do this. Music too Loud or Soft? Adjust Your MP3 Files to Match Volume Levels.

Not sure why you feel you are limited to one song at a time.
You can load thousands of songs into Mp3gain and do them all at once. On an average PC, it can process several thousand songs per hour.
It has an option to include subfolders.
I don't think it works on M4A files, but a program called AACGain reportedly does. Never used it, but it is said to be very similar to mp3gain.

I think MP4gain, which handles normalizing M4A tracks, might also perform batch normalization.

Make sure those thousands of song files are safely backed up. Backups are necessary regardless, but even more important if you intend to use batch methods for normalization or similar tasks. The process might run smoothly but could risk corrupting the files along the way.... Set up a small test environment so you can control what happens and verify that songs play correctly in random order.

I personally prefer not to "normalize" my music. It often makes many dynamic tracks sound much more subdued. If the original recording is of good quality, there should be no reason to alter it this way.
