What you're looking for is called "replay gain" (alternative spelling,
"replaygain"). Basically, it's a two-step process : (1) analyze the
'effective loudness' of a track, and (2) add a tag indicating the
difference between the measured 'effective loudness' with a reference level
of 89 dB SPL

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=ReplayGain

The above wiki article might be out of date with regards to the available
software. Try asking around in the HydrogenAudio forums. They are a bunch
of friendly guys ;-)

(PS: my handle there is "pepoluan", although honestly I haven't dabbled in
any forum discussions for several years.)
