The simplest way to do is to add all of your song to WMP library with the audio leveling feature turned on.

The instructions are [snipped]

After you've imported the songs to WMP library, sync the songs to a flash drive. Copy the flash drive's synced content back to your computer and your music should be all volume levelled.

If you wanted to change the bitrate or convert to other format, I highly suggest dBpoweramp. I also suggest converting all of your music to wma 10 pro because it's far more superior in terms of sound quality/size. You'll need to install a free plugin for dBpoweramp in order to convert songs to wma 10 professional.
1) Interesting...Why the step to sync files to a flash drive as part of the volume leveling process? It would seem that step does nothing to alter the files...?
2) Be careful converting from one bit rate to another, unless it's converting from lossless to a 'lossy' format. When you go thru an analog to digital conversion (at less than infinite resolution) you 'lose' a small bit of information. If you convert to a higher bit rate, you cannot gain that back. If you convert to a lower bit rate, you lose a bit more info. If you want to 'convert' to a different bit rate, you would be much better off going back to the original analog source and re-ripping it.
I don't know how format converters work, but I would suspect the same problem is possible when you go from wma to mp3 or vice versa...
