Introduction: The Silent Frustration of Uneven Volume You’ve spent hours curating the perfect digital music library. Every file is in pristine FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format, ripped from original CDs or purchased from high-resolution stores. You queue up an album, hit play, and the music sounds glorious. Then, the next track comes on—perhaps from a different album or a compilation—and you practically jump out of your seat. It’s jarringly louder. Or, conversely, you strain to hear a delicate classical passage, only to have your eardrums blasted by the next rock track.
