About the volume...

First of all, nice podcast. I haven't heard this episode yet, but I'll do so on monday. Anyway, I also would like to say that I too think the sound is a bit too low, so I use mp3gaim to raise it. If you guys are interested, install mp3gain and enter this command:
mp3gain -a podcast.ogg
