Decreasing the gain reduces the volume evenly across all the tracks. Normalizing decreases all the tracks to the same volume. This is better for a portable player, because shuffling files of wildly different volume levels can be irritating.
The way you do it is to open the file in Peak, select all, select Normalize from the DSP menu, and set it to 75% or 80%. This will give you a headroom of 20% to boost with. I don't think Peak Express has a batch process function, so it will be slow going to do large amounts of files, but there are probably shareware programs that will let you do it.
