This doesn't necessarily look like a good thing to me:

I find it a great thing. After itunes Radio introduced loudness normalisation already I think this another huge step to finally end the loudness war indeed.

For highly-compressed songs, I'd agree. But if I've made a track with a high dynamic range I don't want it expanded. I want it left alone.

I've been enjoying that Uptown Funk for a good several months now. Still in my head, what a delicious song.

Yeah for youtube, some goodness in the sad world of modern music...

YouTube doesn't expand (or compress) at all, in terms of altering dynamics afaik.

Thanks. From the article: ”My theory is that YouTube is auto-normalizing audio for uploaded content across the board. It will leave things as is initially when your upload is fresh, but will end up normalizing your audio as soon as it finds time to get around to it!”

I'd like to hear something official from YouTube.

YouTube just put the final nail in the Loudness War's coffin
