Yes, the volume levels between the FM tuner and the MP3 files should be very comparable. If you have a severe difference in levels, I would say to check for a wiring problem.

Note that on my tuner the AM stations are a bit louder than the FM stations, but I think that's because the US broadcasters are different than the UK broadcasters in that respect. I'll bet the empeg guys tweaked the offsets based on UK stations.
