MP3 sudden volume change

[Dances With Frogs]

I've DL some files that in one have a sharp jump in volume at the beginning of each song, then goes back to normal. I also have another that does it in various places - like the dynamic range has gone squirrelly.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I havn't seen that myself but shit happens .. MP3Gain should fix it .. FREE

Thanks for the tip, CJ. I tried it, but it doesn't appear to correct the problem - it changes the gain over the entire length of the file, rather than one section(s) where the volume is unnaturally louder.

It is puzzling that this should happen accidentally (I sure like to know how that could have happened). It's behavior would suggest DBX, where the file is compressed during recording, then expanded by the same amount during playback.
