How to even out volume level on multiple tracks?

I’m still a beginner with audacity, and I was wondering if there’s a way to edit multiple audio tracks to even out the volume level for all of them. What I mean is, if “Hey Jude” by the Beatles plays much softer than a Lady Gaga song at the same volume setting on my PC and speakers, is there a way to fix that so they both play at the same output level? (It’s annoying to keep adjusting the volume knob for different songs from different artists.)

There’s an excellent free music player called Foobar2000: https://www.foobar2000.org/

It has a feature called “ReplayGain” that enables it to adjust the volume knob for each song so that you don’t need to. It works very well.
There’s a description of the feature and how to use it on this old page: http://eolindel.free.fr/foobar0.9/Replaygain.php

In newer versions of Audacity, there is an effect “Loudness Normalization” that may do what you are asking.
