Once I have the songs in mp3 format (usually 192 kbs) I use "MP3 Gain" 
(mp3gain.sourceforge.net) to equalize the volume settings, "Intelligent 
Audio Splitter" 
(http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Audio-Editors-Recorders/WBIAS.shtml) 
to trim the files and remove dead air, and "Winamp" (http://www.winamp.com/) 
to fill in the "ID3" info.
