That way all CD's will have an over all equal apparent loudness.
Call the component "Pure Sound Level" (PSL) , Get the amp companies excited about it so it can be a new selling feature. Auto level control.
Just a thought,,
we all know stickers and trying to talk sense to clients doesn't work for the most part.

Itunes and an addon called "replay gain" have this function built in. Use this as your laboratory. If the consumer community can't get that working, then don't get your hopes up.
