IMO, if you must alter alter volume post-recording, simple normalisation is probably best, although I'd probably leave it to the listener's volume control.
Agreed. I personally recommend turning the Overdrive option off, and post-recording Normalise to -0.5dB. But really, as long as all the songs in one game are recorded in the same way, that's good enough.
Realy as long as they don't turn the volume up full blast, have shitty speakers/headphones, or have a bass enhancing feature on the device they are using to listen to the music, they should be fine. Frankly, I like the music to be as loud as possible without it becoming a bad clipping nightmare. In fact, only a few of the music tracks in the rips I've made have been having minor issues with clipping. This is because they have some bass in them. Most notably, a number of the Sega Genesis Jurassic Park tracks are like this. However, you won't notice the clipping unless you do one of the above. Visitor's Center turned out nice though and that's all that really matters since it's one of the best themes in the game. See for yourself:
This isn't my rip above. It's still the best theme in the game though regardless.

I'm getting a little confused at some of these articles. Mostly in the Sega Saturn section. Theres a couple of third party games listed in the Games section. For example theres Croc: http://segaretro.org/Croc:_Legend_of_the_Gobbos and William's Arcade Hits: http://segaretro.org/Williams_Arcade%27s_Greatest_Hits . Sega had no hand in the development nor did they publish those games. They appeared on other consoles so why are they here? Unless 3rd party games are acceptable?

3rd-party games are acceptable if they were published on a Sega system.
Due to rendering errors, the original European Saturn release of the game would feature a headless Croc (and various other missing polygons) when played, prompting the publisher to include a yellow instruction leaflet to explain to the user how to fix the problem.
Haha, seriously? That's incredible. I want to see this in action.
Sega Retro's existence is now officially justified.
