Hi Everyone,

Well, almost! I'd like to thank everyone here at ACF who visits
periodically to the stall wall and helping my site to hit 50,000 hits.
Also, I've updated my site. This issue, I've observed the finer details
of 'MP3Gain' by Glen Sawyer. Plus the usual stuff. I hope you'll all
stop by when you get a chance.

You might also observe that Glen is a fine lad, very helpful (somewhat
rare, nowadays).

My testimonial. ;-)

A couple of thoughts about your "review" of MP3Gain:

You state that a Mac version "may be coming." It's been available for
over a year: http://homepage.mac.com/beryrinaldo/AudioTron/MacMP3Gain/ (I
found that link on MP3Gain's own site.)

I note that you (perhaps unknowingly?) cranked up the volume of your mp3
files excessively- all to the point of clipping, and then just left them
that way as if that was the way to properly use the software. And you
didn't even bother to try the "Album Gain" mode, deciding instead to
assume "I'm sure there will be no problem with this aspect of MP3Gain."

Your review seems superficial at best.

Cute grandkid, by the way.

Regards,
Ian.

You might want to rethink your "target level" of 100 db as you are/will clip
EVERYTHING. And at that level the clipping will be more than light. More
about clipping in my dandies (see below).

A lower level will accomplish the desired result of evening up volume just
as well but without degrading the music.

IIRC MP3Gain is standard set to a target-level of 89 db.
My soundcard has a low output-level as have the soundcards of most my
friends systems. Switching between the CD-player or tuner of my stereo and
the output of my pc has to be done carefull, because there's a big
difference between output levels. That's one reason why people like to
boost up the level in MP3Gain.
As you say, the clipping will be awfull for a lot of MP3-files, and the
quality of the MP3's will be worse. If your using Winamp there are some
Enhancer plug-ins that will increase the output-level of your soundcard,
allthough I'm not using Winamp any more I had some great results with a few
of those plug-ins, so that might be a better option than to rape your MP3's
to a higher level of db.

Here's the quote from the review: "There is also a version for the Mac
and Unix may be coming." As stated, there is also a version for the Mac
and according to the site, Unix may have a version soon.
I note that you (perhaps unknowingly?) cranked up the volume of your mp3
files excessively- all to the point of clipping, and then just left them

Excessive is a matter of opinion, in this case, yours. No problem but I
used it the way I needed to and it worked fabulously! You are also
correct, as stated in the review, in the fact that I didn't try the
album gain and assumed it worked. I do not listen to albums, and if that
particular function didn't work, I'm sure MP3Gain would not only be as
popular as it is, but it wouldn't be on the 2004 pricelessware list
either. Call it a time saver on my part. Whether I used it properly is a
matter of your opinion, but it did exactly what I wanted.

You are correct. I haven't the time to review in depth and since I'm
never getting paid, I don't have to. The review gives a fair idea on how
the program runs and what it does. Download the program as suggested
and give it a go. It costs nothing, and won't harm your system. If you
already have, enjoy!
Cute grandkid, by the way.

He certainly is!
Thanks for the comments.
