I'm transferring my CD collection onto my PC using CDex v 1.51 and as far as
I can tell everything works well.

Since there doesn't appear to be any specifics on the volume that the final
MP3 will be at within CDex (with the exception of normalize, which I don't
want) I decided to see what volumes they were at using MP3Gain (I assumed
the final volume was relative to whatever the original CD is at).

I was suprised to see that it listed many of the tracks as 'clipping', which
seems to be a bad thing.

Listening to the tracks, I cannot hear any problems so is it something I
should be concerned about?

Is CDex a good CD ripper, it appears functional and does everything I need
it to although it could do tags a bit better as it doesn't seem to always
add the artists name, is there another ripping program I should use?

I'm about 1/2 way through my CD collection so if CDex is buggering things up
I'd rather know now than get all the way through!

I am encoding using the Lame MP3 encoder 1.30 engine 3.92, MPEG 1, very high
quality at 320 kbps.

Thanks for any replies!
