The replaygain plugin does what you're looking for. You should make
sure you have replaygain tags on all your music files for best
results. How you achieve that depends entirely on what format your
music is in. For MP3, use mp3gain, for FLAC, use metaflac,  for OGG
Vorbis use vorbisgain. There is also a branch of mp3gain for AAC/MP4
files called, unsurprisingly, aacgain.
