i downloaded aacgain so i could set the gain levels in all of my itunes files to match all of the other MP3 i buy from other sites...
i was reading the readme file and didn't like what i read...
anyone else using this program? any issues?

I did it to my collection with MP3Gain awhile back.
Worst mistake I've ever done. I now have to go back and try to re-buy/re-download/re-find a bunch of tracks because of it.
Note: I did this before I was actually mixing. As "prep" or so I thought at the time.
Forget about trying to modulate the gains with prep. Just use the gain knob while you're in the mix.
i have used mp3 and soundforge to raise the levels of MP3s that needed it...no issues...
i believe alot of people on here have used mp3gain with no issues...
unless you are talking about the aacgain aspect of it...because of what i read i didnt feel to encouraged to try it...unless i made duplicates of all the itunes tracks...

Good advice.
If you're using the music you've purchased for mixing this is preferred: even normalised you could end up playing on a bung system that'd require you to adjust gain manualy in any case. Best you've had the practice already.
Also, you wouldn't want to introduce any artefacts to the audio.
If you're simply listening to them, pretty certain iTunes has a normalisation function, which uses the first track played as the benchmark.
i thought the aac gain app had some bugs .. dunno have not used it myself.

transcodes are bad
mp3gain/replaygain adjusts tracks' gain in increments of 1.5db. traktor's autogain uses finer 0.1db increments. therefore, imo, there's no point bothering with mp3gain unless you're doing it for purposes other than digital DJing.
assuming aacgain does the same thing as mp3gain, it has the potential to be a waste of time as well.
