Let's not try to kid ourselves here. You aren't contributing anything to
the situation. If you find doing an overall normalization as if it were the
god of mp3 conversions is a good thing, then by all means do so. It sucks,
but if you think it's good, then it must suck good. Again, without any
contribution to the overall creativity of the product you're simply another
link in the chain that somehow wants to continually **** well recorded music
up. There is NEVER a time when LOSSY COMPRESSION IS BETTER, whether it's
loud or not.

From your professional perspective, all of the above is true.
From my professional perspective, MP3 is a requirement for my project.
Placing voluminous amounts of CD-quality audio online is not an option.
Who gives a ****? Anyone who wants their online presence to sound as
good as possible given the obvious inherent limitations of the medium
being employed.

I am seeking facts regarding how to produce better MP3s than Joe Sixpack
can make by himself at home. It will help to give my business "a
leg-up" on the local competition. If someone can come to me to get a
"better sounding" MP3 than what the people down the street can produce,
guess who they're probably going to come to.

End of tangent.
