Can I use MAD in Winamp to create .wav files for burning to cd or does Winamp somehow default to the FhG garbage for that function?

Ok, but where would you store the info ? And would it be fast enough
with
large song-collections ? If you do this it would perhaps be good to put
the
plugin in a "learn"-mode so you could get the info from all your songs
fast
and write it in a file for later use.
The setting would probably either be stored in an RVA2 ID3 tag frame or in
the
registry. A setting would only need to be saved if it is not 0 dB.
It's not clear what "fast enough" means; I don't think there would be a separate "learn" mode -- the plug-in would always be learning as long as
the
automatic clipping attenuation option is enabled.
I found another file with a few (160 ?) samples with 8db clipping so i
think
that some kind of setup would be nice!
Maybe the right thing to do is limit the amount of automatic attenuation?
You
could then configure the maximum attenuation level to, say, 4 dB or
whatever.
