This is great! I have some songs that pop on and are really loud they make me jump.

It’s also a good way to boost the volume of your tunes if your player is somewhat low-volume. I set mine to 97 dB as the default and don’t have to crank up the car or portable player so loud. Most files show “clipping,” but I’ve never been able to hear anything at all wrong with them. You can change the gain for a file as many times as you want. Great program. Mp3tag (http://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html) is another good free program for mp3 (for editing tags).

Chickenwuss,
I thought I had written this more clearly, but apparently I have not. All changes MP3Gain makes are reversible per default because the mp3 files are not re-encoded.
This is different in other tools, for example MP3Gain Pro (formerly known as MP3Doctor), which is NOT affiliated with MP3Gain at all.

Wow. This is quite a useful tool. One thing one needs to remember that once the track gain is applied to the song file(s), it is permanent. So you may want to create a backup copy of your song first just in case things go wrong.

Now this is a tool I’ve been looking for for awhile now (my radio show deals with free and legal music; sadly, not every album I play is equal, quality-wise)! Thanks!!!
