And how is that relevant to replay gain?

If your original music is clipped (by the producer/recording engineer),
there is no way to "unclip" it. It will stay clipped, even if you allow
replay gain to change the volume.

Let me repeat: The only way replay gain is relevant to the loudness wars
is that as the broadcast and streaming companies, and companies like
apple, are starting to apply the ITU gain adjustment standards, the
incentive to overly compress music material to make it carry over a
broadcast goes away - but unfortunately producers will still want the
music to "sound like on the radio".

So, again, do you agree with the statement that all replay gain does is
adjust the gain of the track - just like turning down (or, very rarely,
up) the volume control? If not, why not?
