That won't help in the battle of the loudness wars. The loudness war is played by increasing the average volume of music throughout the track. Replay gain can only help with equalizing the peak volume levels of tracks, it is used to turn the whole track up my a fixed amount of volume. If you have a track with a decent range of volume levels across it then even when "replay gained" it will still sound less loud than a track that has fallen victim to the loudness wars. The only other way of addressing the issue is to use a dynamic volume adjustment, that looks ahead in the audio and turns the volume up or down on the fly. There is such an option on the empeg in car MP3 player. It deals quite well with matching volumes, but it has definitely downsides as it can very occasionally lead to clearly audible artefacts on some tracks (the volume pumps up and down rhythmically). It works quite well for in car listening, but I wouldn't want to use such a system at home. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
