I've got at least one album on my Jellyfin server that's about two volume notches quieter than most of the other albums on my server so when I'm playing it back I turn it up, then the next song starts blaring and I have to turn it down again. Wondering if anyone knows of a good tutorial or anything for comparing the decibels of two songs and to bring them more in line with each other.

It seems to be something that is better solved by having the player normalize the audio at playback, so I think you're better off asking Jellyfin users how they do it. I don't know anything about Jellyfin, but a quick search shows that it does have separate options for music loudness and video loudness.

If you insist on editing the files themselves you could use something like Audacity to (destructively) nornalize the files to the same loudness by LUFS.

    I appreciate the response. I did get it figured out when someone explained ReplayGain tags to me. I had seen the setting in Jellyfin and Symfonium and enabled it (which funny enough is why the one album was so quiet) but didn't know I needed to add the tags to each track to make it work. Picard has a plugin for ReplayGain that I set up and have been going through my library artist by artist to get added.
