Is there a way in EAC to rip at a level that wont clip when it encodes to mp3? so that hopefully I would not have to use mp3gain (and as a side effect get that annoying *pop* at the very end of the track)
Full Version: Defeating clipping without mp3gain
I have noticed that any files I mp3gain, while getting rid of clipping, adds a small *pop* at the very end of the file (pop , click, whatever you want to call it).

1. I never noticed a "pop" problem with mp3gain. Can you give some details? (What kind of tagging do you use, what encoder + settings, what player/decoder? Have you tried different decoders, decoding to wav e.g. with MAD, fb2k/winamp diskwriter - is the "pop" still there?)
2. If you can't solve the mp3gain "pop" problem itself, you could do this:
- Rip to .wav/lossless
- use fb2k to apply replaygain (you probably need to test some settings) + write to 24bit dithered .wav (24bit will prevent quality loss due to rounding errors)
- encode with some frontend, e.g. LamedropXPd

I found a rather elaborate workaround, even works well for pseudo gapless playback of all things,
I used eac to extract the entire album into 1 file with cue (mp3cue style of course), then mp3gained it, then used musicutter to split the individual tracks out, and then used tagger 1.8 to tag em (via freedb) and rename.
Worked flawlessly, although seemingly a tad on the elaborate side

Um, I'd like to get a copy of an mp3 that has this effect. If this is a bug in MP3Gain, I'd like to fix it.
...which version of MP3Gain are you using?

Version 1.0.0 , If you give me a place to upload the example mp3 I would be happy to help out.
This appears to only occur on VBR mp3s from my testing thus far (I encode with Lame 3.90.2 --alt-preset standard)
