[iTunes] CDDB Equalizer

[Steve Martin]

Absolutely!

Ideally one would determine what equalizer setting gives their given 
system the flattest frequency response (by measuring audio test 
patterns) and use that for everything.

As a ISF calibrator, this is exactly what we try to do when calibrating 
video displays.  We use test patterns to make them as accurate as 
possible so that the intent of the authors comes through.  If you just 
adjust it to "how you like it", you have become the artist which is 
fine, but not an accurate reproduction of what the original artist 
intended.
