More volume problems...

Every so often and quite randomly, a song on my iPod will be at a lower volume than it should be. I'll be listening to an album ripped from a single source, and one of the songs will be quieter than the rest of the album. What's even more f u c ked up is that I'll be listening to the same album on iTunes and won't have that problem. Keep in mind that with iTunes I don't have the Sound Check option on, and I don't have any sort of manual volume adjustment turned on, either. In other words, this is just another case of my iPod just randomly f u c king up on my for no apparent reason.

I have also tried deleting the songs from my iPod and re-loading them, but that hasn't worked.

iMac G3 500, Mac OS X (10.3.9)

take a look at this link

according to this link, sound check calculates the volume from the info stored on the song file. part of the miscalculations that the ipod is doing has to do with the info embedded to the audio file and this info was made at the time the audio file was encoded.

Where are your songs coming from? CD? iTunes Music Store? If you are using Limewire or something like that then expect to get crap songs with crap quality. You get what you pay for when it comes to the quality of the audio file itself.
