<div dir="ltr">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?<div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Kevin Gross - AVA Networks</div></div></div>

<br>
We have had some discussions after it became clear Tidal's system didn’t support Loudness-normalization based both on Track and Album; so they are stuck with the latter for now. If we jump to conclusions, more companies this group is used to advise, may find themselves taking one step forward and two backwards.<br>
<br>
For some applications, Track norm is better, for other applications Album norm should be preferred. It’s bad advice to impose an either/or decision, and in this case it might have ramifications for Tidal’s capability to comply with certain requirements or new track search criteria.<br>
<br>
Careful and unbiased guidance in these matters will better stand the test of time.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
