We have noticed that when switching between the curated playlists and iRadio stations there can be dramatic volume differences which leaves us rushing for the remote to keep from waking our neighbors. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I haven't had that happen, but I have had the volume change drastically from song to song on one album (album is downloaded to my phone). I don't remember if it was an album I had already bought or just one I downloaded from iTunes through the app.
Is it possible that the curated playlists contain tracks recorded before Loudness Wars (say, 1980s) and not remastered, therefore they are quieter, while radio stations automatically compress everything to have the same (maximum) loudness?
