Well, that saves you having to adjust the volume as the environmental noise level changes, but it still doesn't address the problem that if you're playing a recording with a wide dynamic range you can't hear the quiet bits unless you turn it up so high that the loud bits deafen you. It isn't just classical music that suffers from this - try listening to something like "Amused to Death" by Roger Waters in the car - it's futile without AGC.
