Mac: Set iTunes volume

itunes song volume adjustment
It has always peeved me that some songs will play louder than others. This is due to a multitude of reasons, from the source audio to the way it was ripped, but nonetheless it’s obnoxious when one song is quiet and the next is blasting. Stop messing with your speaker volume though, because iTunes will automatically adjust song volume level to be constant for you! It’s a setting that should be enabled by default if you ask me, but since it’s not here’s how to turn it on:

Enable iTunes automatic song volume adjustment

* From the iTunes menu, navigate down to ‘Preferences’
* Click on the ‘Playback’ tab at the top
* Select the checkbox next to ‘Sound Check’
* Now select ‘OK’
Now restart iTunes and the song volume will be consistent across songs, with iTunes automatically adjusting the levels for you. No more speaker tweaking
