How can make MP3 files louder?

[vlc]

..As i got some files that were too quietly recorded

[DanBoy]

You could use a program such as Wavelab (wave editing software) to decode the MP3, re-encode it as a .wav file and then simply amplify it.

Then re-encode as an MP3 before saving.

Or I could do it for you, if you can Email them to [e-mail], but they might take me a while to send back over.

Search for MP3Gain in google. Can be used to increase/decrease db level of an individual file or to fix the level of an entire collection.

normalize should do the job nicely, especially when you've got a lot of files to rework

Just turn up your speakers!

i just tried that one - but its a damn DOS progie, whereas i much prefer a windows interface, as i'm more used to that nowadays.

i now gonna try that other one mentioned above - 'MP3Gain'

Total Recorder is great. You turn up the recording level in decibels.
