Yeah...I know that redbook audio supports a theoretical 96db of dynamic
range. But I don't think that necessarily transfers across to saying that
the RMS loudness of a track is optimal when it is 96 (according to MP3Gain).
I could be wrong on that, though.

I've always been a little puzzled by how RMS is expressed anyway. For
instance, SoundForge expresses RMS as a negative number, with 0 being the
theoretical maximum loudness. A track that MP3Gain lists as having an RMS of
94 might equate to an RMS value of -16.5 db in SoundForge.
