That way all CD's will have an over all equal apparent loudness.

The problem with this is that tracks with the exact same "rms level" can be apparently many dB different in perceived loudness. The solution is mastering to a standard like K-system, and educating the listening public about how good reproduced music can sound in a quiet/dedicated space.
Companies with massive resources to spend on this issue, like Dolby or Microsoft, have come up with automated listening tools that don't equal an untrained normal human ear, let alone a recognized mastering engineer.
One of the problems with music/film/video/entertaiment biz is that "style-guys" (MBA's, Sales, Accounting) are in charge of the biggest organizations. They destroy what they touch, with taste and quality first. Quarterly profits are almost guaranteed as the snake devours its' tail, then entrails. As the business begins to sink, they leave the ship with big pay packages. Look at what the celebrated Carli did to HP.
kk.
DVD+R and DVD-R are not the same thing. +R is significantly better in error correction.
