Hi Hamish. The recommended target volume is 89 or 90 especially if you have MP3's ripped from older CD's. This target volume will prevent clipping.
With regards to other tracks you add to your collection, you can just use MP3GAIN to change the volume of the new tracks, you don't have to do all your collection again. It wouldn't hurt to do your whole collection though because MP3GAIN will analyse them and realise that it doesn't need to apply a gain to them. However, it does take some time to analyse each track.

Say I apply MP3 gain to all my current MP3 files by selecting the folder , firstly what setting do I need to apply in terms of percentage? Secondly in the future if I say have another 50 MP3 files that I have downloaded do I just need to apply MP3 gain to the new ones with the same settings or do I have to do the whole lot again? cheers Hamish -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Corey Knapp Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 6:17 AM To: PC audio discussion list.
