If you could use more descriptive titles when you post a thread in the future, it would help a lot. Thanks.

Basically, clipping samples occur when the MP3 is telling the Wav file to get louder than a Wav file can actually get. It maxes out the volume for a brief period of time and distorts the sound. Look at the MP3Gain thread for some info on MP3 clipping and how to prevent it.
