Right, so most music tracks in my possession play at normal sound levels, as songs are generally designed to do. However, one albumsworth borrowed off a friend, as well as a few PERFECTLY LEGAL downloaded songs, are paralysingly quiet. In order to hear them at a decent level, one needs to turn up ones volume to a level where any other song would be melting your eardrums.

Is there any way I can crank up the basic volume levels of a track? I can't think of the technical term, and I'm not sure there is a way, but here's hoping.

My immediate solution would be to download Audacity, and simply amplify the sound files.

Does anyone know whether certain copy protection affects volume? Because that's my only other idea as to what's going on.

That or you might've just encoded them at a lousy bitrate. If it's less than 128kbps, I'd reccommend re-ripping the files.

Itunes will let you modify a song's sound level too
