If you are new to linux audio, I would suggest get
Audacity from Planet
CCRMA, import the songs (ripped off your existing
CD) into Audacity
(probably one at a time), use Audacity's "Normalize"
or "Amplify" effect
and maybe play with one of the compressors in the
plug-in lists (I've
used the "Dyson Compressor" to get a file that just
almost touches 0 dB
in the loud parts and is nice and "fat" looking.
You will have done a
very quick and dirty mastering job that should make
it sound lots better
in your CD player.
It sounds like he needs to master and neither
normalize or Amplify will give you anything near the
control that JAMin is designed for.
