    Isn't that what you want?

    Would I be complaining if I liked it? :)

    I don't mind a little distortion; I'd rather have the same volume. I have a Mac at work, where the ambient sound level is pretty high due to the poorly designed HVAC system and multitude of computers. I have to keep the volume on the computer low enough to avoid disturbing coworkers, but loud enough to hear over the noise. With no compression, I can't hear the quiet parts of songs without turning up the volume. During the "normal" parts it is then too loud.
