I don't want to go off topic and I think the bug is present and was already
noticed in the past.

I am a very beginner in those fields but for what concerns loudness and
normalization I think that a good way of acting is taking a powerful sound
processor Orban/Omnia-like and give it room to work with. It think it even
tries to create a bit of dynamics to the new modern compressed music if you
want.

By the way: how many of you use that "Gain" feature in RDLibrary? We just
apply the default -13 norm. of rdimport and let the processor (ours is
software based) do the rest.
