Question Looking for program to batch-adjust volume on mulitple files

Hey all
Some of you may know that audio books are generally recorded at a much lower volume than music, dunno why, but it's really beginning to annoy me because there's a cap on how much I can increase the volume on my mp3 player.
Result: I can't hear most of my audiobooks near heavy traffic or on railway stations, some of it I even have to be somewhere with complete, or near complete silence.

So I was wondering if any of you knew a good (free) windows program you can adjust mulitple mp3-files with? (I've seen audiobooks split up in up to 1200 files).
Maybe some of those mp3-splitter/joiners on tucows can do stuff like that, but I can't see it from the description (it would be nice to have a program that could do both). Tucows audiosection

Hope you can help, and thank you for your time

NB

PS: I won't be near a computer until next weekend, so I won't be able to answer until then.

Batch audio processing I use Peak. Else to normalise a batch of similar tunes together: To normalise an album or group of songs of similar stature I'd put them into Toast, create an audio disk image & open that with Peak (Designer II element reading.) Then normalise it to the % of what is best suited for the end cause. Then extract the tunes individually using Toast or jam.

For windows, I'm not sure of a "free" batch normaliser but I'm sure they're out there. I like peak because I can normalise at a % of maximum such as 70 or 80%. Normalising % for me not only depends on type of content & target media, but also quality of source.

thx for the answer LOTR...
But man, that's a good bit more complicated than I'd hoped for (total newbie at audio processing)...
I was kinda hoping for a good windows program that could do the whole lot at once, but perhaps nobody has realized the market potential.

Can anyone in here point me to specific windows programs (not nessesarily free) that at least can do what LOTR describes?

Cheers NB

Peak will batch process also. There's also a windows version of Bias Peak. I'd suggest most decent audio editor programs can batch process. But you're getting into the commercial audio editors with these. My version is quite old (v.3). Most likely others like Digidesign Pro Tools can also batch process. I'm not sure about free ones that can batch process, but it might be worth searching free audio batch processors.
