    So it looks like some of my files are clipping according to MP3Gain. Anything I can do about this?

    MP3Gain throws a hissy fit over clipping if even one tiny little bit of anything clips, even if its only a millisecond, and there's no attack/decay/tolerance setting for it (which is really annoying). So I find the best way is to ignore it, then if you notice a particular track distorts badly, take care of it on a case by case basis.
    You'll mainly see this problem with Hip Hop or RnB tracks, which are fairly quiet overall but have huge kick and bass spikes every few beats.

    how does this work exactly. I kind of want to download it because I'm not a huge fan of traktors auto gain

    It uses something called RMS to determine how loud a track actually sounds to the human hear, rather than just peak normalisation, to set all your MP3s to a certain level, specified by you. Most people go by about 96dB on the program setting.
    If you go to the website, (mp3gain on sourceforge, google it), it explains it better.
