I am using Plex for Music on a Windows 11 machine and the levels for each CD are different. Is there a way to level the music volume across the music folders?
There is, It’s called “analyse for loudness” and must be activated in the server settings: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289526-library/
This analysis however is done during server maintenance hours. So it might take a few days after music library creation, before the results become usable.
But only the mobile apps and Plexamp are currently able to actually use the loudness leveling.
And it will only work, if your albums are indeed ripped from the same source. If you made your own “Frankenstein”-albums, with tracks originating from different sources, it will never work.
Thank You Very Much. I do not have “Frankenstein”albums, but you must be old to call them Albums or you are part of the new USB Record player albums costing a small fortune! LOL
My granddaughter, 14 years old, is into hard rock and is buying albums.
Anyway, I have Albums recorded to cassette 100 years ago but they still sound great clicks and ticks included. Well this worked for most of my music and so far it may just be a few which did not level. On shuffle for a couple hours and only one song was too low, the rest have been fine!
Thank You again, it was annoying on shuffle to have every song a different volume.
Songs with clicks in them could be very well the issue that’s causing the loudness analysis to malfunction.
If you have an album with moderate loudness, but just one song in there has a nasty click that is very short but very loud, it can cause the whole album to get reduced in volume during playback, to not run into volume clipping.
The algorithm cannot detect that this click is an unwanted part of the song and thus shouldn’t really influence the loudness analysis.
