black metal) the volume was decreased to the point of being ridiculous. In the latter genres (especially the loudest, ie. inconsistent results with different genres - the actual "heard" volume of electronic music, hip-hop or synthpop was much, much higher than rock and metal. I noticed (and saw many other complaints) that the old AM algorithm, used from the ancint iTunes times was "garbage". Recently (march 2022) it was announced tha Apple Music starts using LUFS volume normalization instead of "legacy" Sound Check. Standard quality (lossy AAC) tracks, are still processed with the old, amateurish Sound Check algorithm. TL DR The new LUFS volume normalization is MUCH better than the "legacy" Sound Check (album mode works at last), but it works only with "loseless" option turned on. Sorry for the mistakes in English (I’m Polish). Maybe someone would like to check and see if you can reproduce my observations. Sorry for a long post, most of it are specific album/track examples.
