[iTunes] Re: re-evaluate the sound levels?

[Philip Willden]

It's not clear to me that it does anything, but if selected, it makes 
its adjustments to the entire iTunes library.  The problem that still 
has not been addressed, I believe, is that if you create a playlist of 
old and new recordings, some will, perforce, be at a lower playback 
level.  I've tried to beat this problem by arbitrarily choosing one 
track as a 'baseline' and adjusting everything else around it.  It 
works with uneven results.  My search for a magic pill that sets all 
tracks in a playlist at the same volume appears thus far to be futile.
