Whoops, I left out a step, and that was how to export an MP3 file edited in Audacity so your changes are applied.
First of all, I should have mentioned the export quality. In Audacity open the Edit menu > Preferences dialog > File Formats tab.
The "Uncompressed Export Format" is by default .WAV file. Ignore this, you are not exporting to uncompressed format, you are exporting as MP3 format, and you need to tell it what quality to export files as. I suggest a Bit Rate of anything from 112 to 192. The upper end of that is "CD Quality", but makes the files larger. Your phone probably may not play back at CD Quality anyway, and increasing it beyond 192 isn't going to make any difference if the original file was encoded at a much lower quality. Click OK to set that as the quality that will always be applied when exporting to MP3.
Next you may wish to change or set MP3 "Tags" stored in the MP3 file. These tags are used by playback and cataloguing software, and may show in a scrolling field on your phone when the tracks are playing. Project Menu > Edit ID3 Tags. Enter what you want and click OK.
To save the file out:
Either do an Edit > Select All > File > Export selection as MP3...
OR
Leave the audio unselected and use the File > Export as MP3.
Browse to a folder and change the file name if you wish. You can save the file back to itself so that the original MP3 is overwritten, but I DO NOT recommend this. Keep the originals in one folder and save out the new ones to another folder, or even directly to the phone's storage card that should show as a Removable Drive.
Hopefully that covers it.

Hi slingshot15
I remembered another free utility that I used a few times before to balance out loud and quiet mp3 files:
