Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a user, I appreciate the Audio loudness normalization, but would like it to be an option with ability to toggle it on and off. Audio loudness normalization works great for random playlists, but not so much for albums.

Describe the solution you'd like A simple Checkbox toggling the Audio loudness normalization on and off would be excellent, with On being the current (and default) setting, and Off being the "Normalize volume - off" equivalent in the native app.

Describe alternatives you've considered using the official app.

Additional context Screenshot_20220504_131334 Screenshot_20220504_131513 I'm enjoying PSST I think it's great and excellent with resources too, honestly volume normalization is the only irk I have. Thanks a lot for that!

Hi, thanks for the kind words! :)

Audio loudness normalization works great for random playlists, but not so much for albums.

We could actually provide more options, and use the normalization only in a track context. These are two distinct normalization levels btw, one is album-relative, and applied when a track is played from an album context, and the other is global, used in playlists, saved tracks etc.
