I am trying Winamp plugin - first impressions are quite positive. One can listen to Dvorak's New World Symphony without waking up anybody, and there is still enough dynamic range left. Likewise Tchaikovsky's 1812; first bars of the choir are not too quiet to be heard, and one still can tell that cannons are intended to be loud; the limiter, of course, kicks in quite often, but it is not perceived as clipping. The only slight 'pumping' I noticed so far was in Tomita's rendering of Stravinsky's Firebird, but that could hardly be avoided: isolated loud 'instruments' over the background that is spectraly almost white.

Anyway, looks as if this might be better than old trusty VolAdj, that served us well all these years (Loren, I couldn't find original VolAdj author in somewhat neglected Hijack FAQ )
