A lot of radio stations apply various DSP effects and gain to their
stream, that's why they are louder. I am not sure how automatic
leveling would work, but one suggestion is a manually assigned gain
value you could set on a per-station basis. Perhaps for popular
stations we could provide some

with debugging flags which show which items are on the Now Playing

It seems (from my point of view of course ;-)) that it would be easier
to approach this the other way around... that is, that the volume
setting on the player is the actual volume (dB) at which sound is
produced, then adjust the source to play at that volume.
I'm assuming this isn't achievable
Are you suggesting the player should adjust volume on a real-time basis?
Not sure that is possible, and it would probably sound horrible. Gain
shouldn't be applied like that... what about soft passages, or silence?

The only way this is (sort of) achievable is with ReplayGain, and the

Favorites are stored in your playlist folder or, lack of it, in your cache

Is there anything else I need to save/backup?
I don't think a flat 30% drop for all stations would solve anything.
You'd still have stations that were too loud or too soft compared to
other things. Each station needs a customized value.
