Normalization

That can be annoying indeed. Batch-editing of podcasts was discussed in other issues before, but I just created a feature request for it.

I think that would be a technical discussion that would better fit in either of the GitHub issues.

There’s also this issue that would be relevant I think:

Audio-normalisation (& volume correction)

Type: Feature request

Taking the feature request by @Threore in the issue on enhancements for AP v 1.3…: "I do a lot of my podcast listening while riding to university on a bicycle, which means wind and traffic often make it hard to hear the podcasts. The obvious solution is to turn the volume up, but **some podcasts are so much louder than others that going from one to the other becomes jarring. Some setting or automatic feature that normalises all the audio would be great**." Same for me; sometimes I'll just pull out my headphones on the bike when I can't hear what they're talking about on a new episode from the queue (no, I don't have buttons on my earplugs to skip episode or adjust volume :) ) I would like to add the option to set audio levels to the softer, middle or louder podcasts (I know this boils down to an additional volume setting front-end, but back-end it would be determining the volume edit between finishing normalisation and saving the file). Reason: normalisation may not be enough to pump up the volume high enough to suit biking (although maybe I'm wrong here).
