Hey there, David!

No, your mp3s will still play thru whatever you have set as your default player (I use WinAMP).

To use MP3Gain, find wherever on your PC you have it saved, and open it. (If you haven't already, you'll have to run the install.)

Once it's open, you should see a screen similar to the one in the pic I've attached below (You may have downloaded a more recent version than mine, which is why I said "similar").

Once you have that up, you shouldn't have too much trouble going from there.
You just click Add Folder, to open an entire folder's worth of music (which of course you have to point the program toward, using the Browse For Folder), or you can click Add Files and then pick and choose which ones you want to work on.

The only thing I recommend doing initially, is maybe trying it out on just a few tracks, after having created backup copies of them on your hard-drive.
That way you can test which target volume suits you best. Once you've decided on that, you won't have to bother with backup copies, etc.

MP3Gain's default "normal" volume is 89.0, but I've set mine for 94.0.

Have fun with it!
