It doesn't throw away bits. What it does is it changes "global gain"
values. Doing so is totally lossless and reversible.

So?
And you don't have to reduce them to the level of the quietest. What you
can do is apply "track gain" so that all the songs are a certain volume,
for example 89dB, and then use "constant gain" to bring the volume of
every song up or down by the same amount.

MP3Gain doesn't touch dynamic range.
