Hi Eelco,

> Buddy Judge told me that due to an algorithm problem some time ago there are still a few peak level errors in Apple’s database. They tracked down most of them but occasionally a new victim pops up. I once found a Rite of Spring recording that was 10 dB off.

Just to confirm, does that mean that iTunes is meant to prevent peak clipping via positive gain, but that it doesn’t always work ?
