[MLA] Not either or

[Kevin Gross]

You've read Eelco's paper right? Aside from the fact that album worked best
subjectively for normal and corner cases, one practical issue is that if
you include an album/track option for users you should explain what it is
for. I'm curious what advice you would give to users on selecting mode. You
say track normalization is better in some cases. What cases are those
exactly?
