Post the release of Wavegain there are other products (like levelator) that claim to be superior (I have not tried them) but since Wavegain is the most accepted of these "normalization" processes this is what I'd recommend for the non-EAC users. Also, the changes MP3Gain makes are completely lossless. ![]() Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear. MP3Gain does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Most claims (I have not verfiied this as I do not use Wavegain but use -scale instead) say that MP3gain is better than Wavegain as it (a) MP3 specific (while Wavegain is generic (b) is applied post encoding process and (c) can be manually scaled. MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. You can also use MP3gain on MP3s that are already processed and achieve what is about the same result. I can hear a difference and so can many other nuts like me but for the general public (those who use iTunes, Windows Media Player etc.) I really dont know. However if I were to recommend an process I'd say use EAC and "-scale". ![]() Wavegain is a simple method to sort apply some intelligent normalization (based on the RMS value of the signal) to the MP3 music while it is being encoded. For my lossless files I do NOT aqpply any preprocesssing (wavegain) as I can do teh same in foobar (using vlevel - VLevel - About ). While the Wavegain/-scale processes are lossy (in so much as they do tend to disfavour the low level bits) so is MP3 (as a medium) so my belief is that it really does not affect the perceptablity of the loss. "-scale" is considered superior to Wavegain (though wavegain is used to calculate scale) but really I wish Sam/B
