Hello.
I recently put some music on a USB stick to connect to my car radio and for work, but unfortunately, the sound is very low and of poor quality (some songs are louder than others). However, I have no problem on my computer.
Did I make a mistake putting the music on my USB stick? Or do I need to make a specific adjustment?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello,

Not necessarily an error, but on the computer, songs, especially when it comes to the same album, are "equalized" automatically by the software that plays them, it seems. This avoids having to keep your hand on the volume button all the time...

The car radio, on the other hand, plays files whose recording data, especially the original volume, can be different, which explains the difference in volume between songs on the same USB key.

To solve the problem, it would be best to first create a playlist on the computer software, paying attention to equalizing the volume between the tracks, and then copying these equalized playlist files (even if it means having duplicates in the library) onto the USB key.

Please let me know if this solution works well!...
