Hi Gina. If you're using MP3GAIN, you're probably best sticking with the default target volume of 89. The problem is that older CD's don't cope too well with volumes above this level and they tend to clip. You could probably get away with 96 for more recent CD's that have been released in the

Hi. If you tend to create compilations from MP3 tracks stored on your hard drive I would recommend MP3GAIN. This is a free program and is the only program I've been happy with doing this task as normalisation is not quite the same thing as setting volume levels to be the same. Kevin -
