Google’s history with music services is practically as complicated and aggravating as its history with messaging. Things have actually gotten calmer (and slower) ever considering that Google delivered music to the YouTube department. The YouTube Music app has its share of inconveniences, to be sure, however it’s getting a long-overdue function that users have actually been asking for ages: constant volume.

Listening to a single album from starting to end is progressively uncommon in this age of unrestricted access to music. As your playlist wheels from one category or period to the next, the inescapable ambiance shifts can be grating. Various tracks can have hugely various volumes, which can be stunning and possibly destructive to your ears if you’ve got your volume up for a ballad just to be struck with a heavy guitar riff after the break.

The essence of constant volume simple– it stabilizes volume throughout tracks, making the volume approximately the exact same. Constant volume develops on a function from the YouTube app called “stable volume.” When Google launched steady volume for YouTube, it kept in mind that the function would continually change volume throughout the video. Since of that, it was handicapped for music material on the platform.
