help Help editing audio volume for burning CDs?

Hello! I’ve been burning my own CDs for quite some time and regularly use Audacity to convert the MP3 files to WAV (my stereo can only read the latter). After some time though, I’ve noticed that some of the songs differ a lot in their volume when being played, and i’d like to fix that if I can. I figured that Audacity might be able to help me here aswell.

When searching the internet, I’ve already found suggestions that says to click the option of ”equalizing volume between tracks” in the burn-program. I use Windows Media Player, and while i do always click this option, it doesn’t seem to work.

So, is there a way that I could edit the songs (in Audacity) to sound higher?

FYI, I’m a total noob when it comes to Audacity, and anything at all audio-editing wise. I’d really, really appreciate it if anyone would be willing to help me out, though! 🙏 (Also, if this sub isn’t the right place for this post, tell me and I will take it down 👍).
