MP3's are playing fine here. Even those I ran through a program called MP3 Gain (it sets the levels on all mp3's to the same, but NOT using "normaling").

LOL, I can't record EVERY song at the same level

Seriously, no issues with MP3 play either.

James, maybe you cna send me one of the mp3's you are having difficulties with? You have the email addy....I can try it out on mine???
