              <p>Dear Kevin: We are all aware of the conflicts involved.
                I occasionally read the AGOTTV5 reports but got lazy
                about it, my bad. <br>
              </p>
              <p>Since this is primarily intended for OTT boxes and
                portable has not been mentioned, I hope there is not a
                big conflict. Music will be turned down to -23 in the
                OTT boxes. Sooner or later we will have to address this,
                but until metadata is standardized it's putting the cart
                before the horse. I'm concentrating on helping us get
                music streaming services in line, and then eventually
                we'll have to reconcile things, but until metadata is
                standardized I doubt we can solve the conflict with a
                document other than recognizing that a conflict exists.</p>

                      initiative. This group is working on loudness for
                      over the top (OTT) and online video distribution
                      (OVD). They have produced a standards document
                      that will come out for public comment soon as
                      AES71. The recommendations are reasonable -
                      produce, transmit and use metadata where possible,
                      use BS.1770 with -23 or -24 LUFS target.

                      <div>There is, however, a large portable aspect to
                        these topics and the line between OVD and music
                        loudness is not very crisp (YouTube is
                        everyone's favorite music streaming service). In
                        these cases the -23 LUFS is at odds with the -16
                        LUFS recommendation in the AES TD1004
                        recommendation. -16 LUFS does appear in the
                        AES71 draft in what appears to be a "not to

                      <div>Aside from the potential problems connecting
                        these recommendations, I see problems with a -23
                        LUFS target for portable applications. We've
                        discussed limitations of portable devices and
                        environments here and I know we don't all agree
                        but we have seen evidence that this is not loud
                        enough for certain hardware and situations and
