MediaMonkey and Sound Check

If you're using an Apple device, keep in mind that it features Sound Check, which plays your music files at the same volume. MediaMonkey supports Track Volume values if your music files have them. However, if they don't, consider using alternative tools like iMazing or CopyTrans.
