I've ripped my CD's to mp3's but I want to volume level an entire album not individual tracks

I'm somewhat new to the Audition scene so be gentle. 🙂

I've got a good library of CD's that I've ripped to FLAC and then converted to mp3 for easy access on my phone (I prefer not to stream). I want to (naturally) make my music all sound relatively the same in terms of volume/loudness. However, some albums (like Dark Side of the Moon) have softer songs and I want to preserve that softness.

I know how to use the "match loudness" option (which I like) for individual tracks. But I want to match the loudness for an entire album as one piece.

I remember a long time ago I found an article about using the "open append" option and can make the adjustment there but don't remember the steps to save/export the updated, individual mp3 files. So, using Dark Side of the Moon as an example. I can make the loudness change(s) I want using the open append option, but want Audition to save/export the 10 individual tracks instead of one, long, conjoined track.

If there's a better way to do it, I'm all ears.

One problem you've got here is that you will have to decode and re-encode all of those MP3 files again, with different levels. What would make most sense in this scenario is to use the FLAC files as the basis for matching the loudness, and using the Batch Process utility to create the final MP3 files just the once, and avoid the inevitable quality degradation of working on the MP3's themselves.

That's fine (leveling the FLAC files and then converting them to mp3) but what is the process for getting Audition to save/export the edited files into individual mp3's?

Again, using Dark Side of the Moon as the sample, if I change the volume/loudness on the entire album (using "open append"), I still want to save/export the 10 individual tracks that make up the whole album.

Audition won't do that because inherently, it doesn't handle MP3 files at all - except to create them as single files from an existing file, or to decode them. But that first bit is the clue - you have to separate the files individually before you batch-create the MP3s. So there's nothing to stop you either changing the loudness of a single FLAC file, or multiple ones to get the result you want - but before you batch them out to individual MP3 files, they have to be individual files to start with, which is the only thing the batch converter can eat.
