2 months agothere’s this awful venn diagram of circles with no overlap, where you cant get a smallish phone that gets updates. Even asking for it to be well made is a pipe dream.
Add onto the desire for an unlockable bootloader and your only options are the phones designed to be thrown into a river after the job is complete.
I wish those unihertz devices were serious whatsoever. They ship on old android versions and get maybe one update in their life cycle.
Android is such a clusterfuck of an OS too. kernel/driver space is an absolute mess so every OEM has to basically ship their own kernel. Qualcomm is the devil and hides everything behind NDA’s so you can’t really write an open OS from the ground up on any hardware that can do any real processing.
Typically volume of a track is chosen by the producer/person mixing. You could theoretically get an average volume and scale the tracks gain. This could have the effect of compressing or chopping parts of the song that are purposefully loud while the rest of the song is purposefully quiet.
I think it isn’t done in order to maintain the intention of how the track was mixed. Typically people won’t have playlists of quiet classical mixed with maxed out edm so a general rule is hard to predict and the authors of the music player just leave it as is.
Look into the cd loudness wars of the 90s where record companies were mixing their tracks louder and louder to compete, which produced notoriously terrible album mixes.
