Now if you add or subtract the same number from all the samples it will still sound the same, only louder or softer (unless you've lost a sample because it went to zero, or you clipped because you exceeded the limits). I'm pretty sure that's essentially what the Apple thing does: it just looks at the average of all the samples and then adds or subtracts a number from them to "normalize" the average volume to some pre-determined number.

I had not the chance to see iTunes, but from what I saw above I thought it is probably done while converting a file to another format. Now do you think if it is possible to write something like a filter, (Perhaps a driver), that does this normalization on the fly? So using that we'll be sure that we can sefely play a sound list, and the output sound has a boundry that will not exceed that and we'll not awake an asleep child with our mp3 musics.
