Yea, you can set it higher. You should read (and re-read) the mp3gain guide. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....=ST&f=15&t=3274

Just to clarify, it's not -0.89 dB; it's 89.0 dB.
The confusion is because MP3Gain isn't referring to the same "peak" dB that many audio programs use. That "peak" dB shows you how close you are to the maximum possible amplitude (0dB). Anything above 0 is clipping.

The "dB" in MP3Gain is SPL (sound pressure level). It shows how loud the file would sound playing from a calibrated system. In this scale, 0 dB is the lowest threshold of human hearing, and 130dB is the point where your ears start bleeding

And you can set the dB to anything you want in MP3Gain. Beyond a certain point, though, most of your files will start clipping.

Just highlight the 89 in the box and type in the number you want (I found 97 to be comfortable).

97 is much too high. Frankly, this is not what ReplayGain was designed for at all. Anyone utilizing ReplayGain also with other formats should leave it at 89 dB and simply turn the speaker volume up. In my experience, 92 dB is the highest reasonable value that still prevents most clipping.
