<p>Kevin. It may not be possible to get this album normalization
idea through without this functionality. If that's what it ends up
taking, then I'd reluctantly go for it. Of course I don't want
that to have to happen, but we have to be realistic, with a
compromise. <br>

</span> Well, Bob Steve Katz is willing to compromise, and
what I would suggest if we have to compromise is to:<br>
<br>
a) make album normalization the default<br>
<br>
b) give Tidal users the option to switch to track
normalization (with a little caveat carefully worded)<br>
<br>
c) or give Tidal users the option to turn off
normalization (for paranoid audiophiles or people like us
trying to do research on actual levels of cuts)<br>
<br>
<br>
That's about it,<br>
<br>
