I don't want to tamper with the dynamics of the file (ie no compression)
just the overall level.

This part ain't gonna happen unless you find a piece of software that
lowers the level of every file to match the quietest.

Not necessarily so. He doesn't specify peak or average level, so simply
adjusting all files to peak at 0dB Dfs, will match the overall *peak*
levels, and is what most normalising programs do.

That isn't good enough. A tune with a low average to peak ratio will
still sound too quiet. MP3 Gain looks at average to peak ratios and
analyzes the perceived quietest track of a group and then lowers the
other to produce a similar volume.
