Just noticed that I'm using a lot of freeware apps lately

EAC is also great for normalizing (increasing) wave volume

Another great tool is Streambox Ripper v2.009 (Converts .ra files to mp3/wav). Streambox VCR lets you capture real audio streams; however, it doesn't seem to work when Real v10 is loaded, so you have to reinstall v9 or earlier.

It?s free to use (you can register it with a postcard and a stamp only) but it has more features than some "professional" programs have.
