Go to Preferences -> Audio -> Replay Gain mode and set it to “Album” (if you’re listening to whole albums) or “Track” (if you’re mixing it up). This will let VLC read the ReplayGain[1] tags in your files and adjust playback volume accordingly.

If some of your files don’t have these tags, just run a tool (github.com/complexlogic/rsgain for example) to generate them.
