I don't claim to be an expert on this, but this is my understanding. MP3Gain can eliminate clipping that would otherwise be introduced during the MP3 decoding process when the value of the frame being decoded exceeds some value. I don't believe this has anything to do with the player being...

Koss KSC-35s, the ultimate workout cans. Looks like we have a common theme here. The KSC-75, Sportatpros and KSC-35s are similar (or maybe the same) drivers in a different form factor. They do have accentuated bass, which to me makes them my last choice for critical listening but my first...

MP3Gain is the way to go. Leave it set to the default 89db. You have two options:Track Gain: All tracks are changed to be the same relative loudness Album Gain: All track on an album are raised or lowered by the same amount, keeping the relative loudness between album tracks intact Analyze all...
