ELI5 Why Do Streaming Services Not Have Audio-Leveling Across Their Libraries?

• loudgain

  4 175 0.0 C

  ReplayGain 2.0 loudness normalizer based on the EBU R128/ITU BS.1770 standard (-18 LUFS, FLAC, Ogg, MP2, MP3, MP4, M4A, AAC, ALAC, Opus, ASF, WMA, WAV, AIFF, WavPack, APE)

I personally use a real-time loudness normalization algorithm all the time (ffmpeg's loudnorm filter) for any sort of streaming video (e.g. YouTube), and for static audio (e.g. music files) I use loudgain.

• libebur128

  1 380 0.0 C

  A library implementing the EBU R128 loudness standard.

Both of these are based on libebur128. It is a genuine mystery to me why large and commercial platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube don't implement this functionality by default, but this is also just the tip of the iceberg of their baffling technical limitations and issues.
