Volume normalization

I like to listen to Flow on Deezer, but a big problem is that different tracks have different volume. When I am cycling, this is very annoying, as some of my favorite songs play too quiet and all of a sudden another track is played too loud. How do I make Deezer play all songs on the same volume level. I wonder that nobody in Help topics is asking or reporting this problem?

      >> it's being developed
      Good to hear!

      >> all I can ask now is for a bit more patience.
      Well, we're already waiting more than a year now...
      Is it that difficult to implement? Or is the priority that low?
      I hope not the last. Since I find that normalisation is really a BASIC/CORE functionality for a music streaming service.

        I actually think that this is a brilliant idea, and could be solved with artificial intelligence. Since some Indie artists get varying degrees of mixing and mastering done to their music, variations will occur due to their production budgets. Probably most fixes are volume related or EQ related. An artificial intelligence algorithms could normalize volumes and place limits on peaks for the EQs of tracks. This would be an outstanding promotional point for Deezer and I hope that they implement it and give it robust press coverage as a feature that none of us want to live without. Primarily because volumes and peaks that are too high can harm the ears especially when headphones are on, and of course, EQ peaks that are brought down too low can ruin the essence of the track.

          Hi there, we are working on it, but I can't tell you when exactly this can be done 🙂 Will of course let you know, should there be an update :)

              The fact that Deezer mobile app does not have volume normalozation is the only reason I did not subscribe to Premium account in my last trial and why I will not continue my current premium trial when it ends.

                @Rudi

                Are the devs going to implement the replaygain standards which differentiate between albumgain and trackgain?

                In my eyes that differentation is important. If i hear my album collection the albumgain would make more sense whereas in mixes, in flow or in playlist the trackgain is a better choice.

                Regards!

                  I also gave this thread a vote. I used to be a long-term Spotify user (premium), but I recently discovered that Deezer offers a Hi-Fi option, which I'm trying out atm. It's driving me nuts that there is no volume normalization option and even though I like the general sound much more than on Spotify I consider going back. I listen to so much music while taking the train to work and back home, it's definitely not an option to constantly change the volume. Big no.

                    Hi there @anna_banana_1987 @Gili Aharoni

                    Thank you for your honest feedback. I know our devs are working on this, we just need a bit more time.

                    @Krs Sns to be honest I'm not sure which type of technology they'll be using. But I'll be forwarding your feedback directly to them. Thank you 😉

                      They have a volume normalize button in the audio settings.  It just doesn’t work.  that along with billing problems and constant error messages has me thinking of going back to Spotify.  The sound quality is awesome but it just isn’t worth all the problems.

                      Obviously these people do not have a passion for music.

                        So I can see:

                        • Windows app has “Equalize Volume” setting - this definitely does something - it turns down the volume instead of increasing it, which I guess is the right-approach to avoid clipping, though it seems a bit more than I would expect (but keep in mind normalisation which will increase the volume is only increasing the loudest peak to 0db, which isn’t the same as perceived loudness, so hopefully the reason it’s decreasing volume is to try and match perceived-loudness without clipping).
                        • iOS has no option
