Unfortunately, no. There's no way to do that since the mp3 format does
not support any kind of "volume" meta information.
The only way to get lossless volume change is to use "Replay Gain", a
method that inserts volume alteration information inside the mp3's ID
tags. However, the player that will then play back the mp3 must support
Replay Gain.
