NEW: Improved audio analysis and volume leveling (R128)

Understood. I wasn't implying "compression" but it came out that way wit the iPod comparison. I understand "normalization" in the sense of determining a peak value and then cranking everything else up to that level.
But to me that's never a good thing (to me personally) - unless of course one has a special need for it - like a specific playlist, late night viewing etc. Even with this option available - I still use just Volume Levelling alone for all my playlists and they all sound great - especially with the R128 additions in v19.

I really can't imagine that anyone listens to the same song from different versions of the same album in one playlist. ? I think this was just for testing.

Yeh, that's true. I use several custom fields, for instance Source (CD, HDTracks, SACD) and Album Version (MFSL, 1991 Remaster, or Cat Number).
It would be convenient if I didn't have to edit the album tag, which is also a give-away as to which version is playing when I'm switching back and forth. But as you say, its often only for testing so not that important.

That's the case!
After i have renamed albumtag in one of the files everything works as expected!
Same loudness and adjust volume by -4,5 for CD Version and + 2,4 dB for the HD Tracks Version in audiopath.
Thanks!! Great and clever Community here, an of course a very great product!
Now i better understand how volume leveling and adaptive volume works!
And this (my) is a great example especially with different Masters (compressed vs better dynamic range recordings) from the same album.
Track "My Captain" on the CD Version is 14 (which is already well) vs HD Track is 17 (witch is exellent)!
btw. highest DR on this musthave album is track "Long Distance Call" with DR18 on the HD Tracks version (CD Version DR14).

I have the HD Tracks Elton John - Madman Across the Water. The Madman Across the Water track is DR8.
The MCA Records version I have is DR10.
Earlier this week I purchased the DJM Records 825 487-2 made in West Germany that is supposed to have it at DR13. I haven't received the disc yet.
It will be interesting to compare.

Glad to hear you figured it out.
Those DR numbers are the same as the MFSL version I mentioned. If the HD Tracks is a true high res version (ie, not upsampled) I might have to get it too.

One of my favority EJ albums.
That number is better than the MFSL version I have. Not that means its better but its enough reason to look into it. I may have to get that too :D.
