I increased the volume on some songs and burned them onto a CD. When I took out the CD and put it in the CD player in my CD changer, the volume was not changed at all.

Using ITunes, I imported the tracks from two different opera CD's of the same opera, keeping the best renditions from each CD to create a perfect opera. Since one of the CD's has a significantly higher volume than the other, I increased the volume by 100% on the lower-volume CD tracks so that they would match. Everything burned onto the CD beautifully, but when I took out the CD from the computer and put it in the CD player in my CD changer in another room, the volume was not changed at all on the tracks where I had inceased the volume. I have no intention of listening to music from ITunes through my computer, the quality just isn't there. I need a CD that can play with my quality CD player and my receiver in another room. I think that, since we are only working with digital numbers here, the actual volume on the CD itself cannot be changed and used outside of the ITunes computer. If that is true, it is worthless to me. I would just continue using Windows Media Player. It can't increase the volume either, but it is easier to use and I am already familiar with it. I am certain that I did everything correctly as I checked and re-checked everything.

I just finished successfully making my first CD with a combination of ITunes and Audacity. I did it yesterday and used Windows Media Player, but for some reason, that system would sometimes put in hiccups if there was not a silence between tracks. I had to relearn and do it again on ITunes, but the results are perfect. The easiest way to increase the volume is to amplify it in Audacity and then export the file to your desktop. Then you can drag the file from the desktop to the playlist in ITunes and then burn the playlist. I just made a "combo" Rigoletto. Next, I will do La Forza del Destino and then I'll do Il Trovatore. This is a wonderful thing, and I owe it all to you. I am grateful.

I have been killing myself working in Audacity since your reply. I've gotten very little else done. It is a real piece of work! I'm to the point that I have figured out how to increase the volume, and in my case it turns out that it needs just 3 decibels. Once I have increased it and saved it, then I have to export it back to ITunes, and from there I think I can burn a CD, which will hopefully be 3 db louder. Thank you for your reply. I had never even heard of Audacity before, and all my former Google searches were fruitless.
