Sounds like you got things worked out already, but here's a little more detail on the exact problem with the file: It looks like WavePad uses a "lazy" ID3v2 tag writer. ID3v2 tags are inserted at the beginning of the mp3 file. A proper tag writer will insert the tag and shift the existing mp3 data to make room for the tag. It's faster and easier, though, to just write over the...

Many thanks for your help on that, really appreciate your insight. I just reconverted the offending MP3s and they worked fin in MP3 Gain, so looks like the issue was indeed the WavePad.

Maybe the lame dll that WavePad uses, or the parameters WavePad is passing to it, is the problem. Could try renaming the lame dll it uses to lame_enc.old and download the latest version of lame and see if it makes any difference. But either way, foobar2000 will indeed fix your existing files and then you can either use it to do the ReplayGain stuff, or mp3gain will work then, too. Load your...

Got it. What are you using to encode to mp3? Some of the non-audio data in there is screwing with mp3gain. First it thinks it is actually a layer 2 file, which it isn't, and after disabling the check for layer 2 files it then thinks there aren't enough samples to even work with. However, if I use foobar2000 and rebuild the mp3 stream then mp3gain works fine on the rebuilt file. BTW...
