I have never even remotely implied compressing anything (other than perhaps agreeing with wfaulk that his idea (above) could be useful). All I am suggesting is using a tag in emplode (not there yet but would need to be added) to allow the user to mark a track (or album) to use one of the (existing) EQ presets when that track is played. This is in place of having to manually adjust the Hijack Bass / treble or Empeg's Equaliser while your driving to compensate for the track sounding less than optimum. This is as a result, not of the way we encode our CDs, but the way the recording engineer equalised the recording in the first place. Surely you have had some CDs that don't sound as well balanced tonally as others?
