[MLA] Tidal

[Kevin Gross]

It is bad form to change existing user settings. No foul. We need to take
the long view on all of this. If we do good engineering and consistent
advocacy, in a few years all this will be taken for granted and there may
not even be an option any longer to disable loudness normalization.
Technical people who look back will wonder why we ever did it any other
way. Non-technical people will still not know what loudness normalization
is but will nevertheless be enjoying a better listening experience.

I think it would be good to collect a list of sources that do loudness
normalization. Has anyone started one? I could create a shared Google
spreadsheet. This would be helpful for tracking our advocacy progress and
it would helpful in persuading other services to adopt.
