Last.FM, Please Normalize Your Output!
A simple one here guys – listening to Last.FM throughout the day see the bottom right of the blog for my currently playing music). Throw in a tag mix and a good neighbourhood and it’s amazing the tunes suitable for TPN Rock that appear) I;ve got one complaint about the service. It doesn’ t normalize the musical output.

That means, it puts everything out at roughly the same ‘loudness’ (ie the RMS db level). This shouldn’t be too difficult to work out in your streaming or PC software. Please. And while you’re at it… stop playing me The Police, Sting and Phil Collins!

I second that. Last.fm blows away any other streaming service, except that I can’t even listen to it at work because of the lack of normalization.
