Dear List,

Could anyone recommend a good, free program that I could use to increase and
equate the loudness of a large set of wav files (each containing a spoken
word)? Those that I've been experimenting with either require working with
one file at a time (e.g. audacity) or introduce large distortion into my files.

thanks,
T Justus
