Sandy, I use SoundForge for that sort of thing. What I do is this:
Try to find a loud spot in a specific track that you know.
Check your meters with shift f11 and f12. If they are not clipping,
showing less than -0.1, you're okay. If they show way below, and the
track you're examining seems lower than other tracks, boost the
volume. You know how much you can afford to do so without clipping,
since you've checked your loudest spot.
Do the same with other tracks you have questions about.
I don't know of any surefire automatic way of doing this. I use a lot
of recorded music for my radio shows, and it comes from all kinds of
sources--old, scratchy vinyls, old hissy tapes, brand-new, spankingly
digital CD's, you name it. If you've got a soft nocturne, you could
be tempted to boost the level up, but be careful until you've checked
the loudest spot in the recording. I don't know if there is a trick
for finding the loudest spot. I basically scroll through until I
find a passionate section and check my decibels.
Maybe someone else has a more scientific approach.
Best of luck,
Gudrun

My husband is wanting to modify the volume in some classical music
he will be downloading to his MP3 player. He wants to get it at a
more even level, so the loud parts won't blast him out of bed, and
the soft parts disappear altogether. I suggested he use Sound Forge
8. We have the disks, and we can install that easily enough on his
computer. Is Sound Forge the proper tool, and what tools within
Sound Forge itself would he need to use to accomplish his
purposes. I have used it very little, so I can't help him much. I
went to the Team Talk server to see if anyone was there. There is
not a sign of life.

Turn right, then go straight!
Jeremiah 29:11-14 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the
Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to
give you hope in your final outcome.
12Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me,
and I will hear and heed you.
13Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a
vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.(A)
14I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you
from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the
places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring
you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive.
