:) I guess I should have been more specific. My scenario is listening to the music on the balcony when the speakers are inside. I turn it up to hear the soft notes in the beginning to my liking, only to have go back inside to turn it down when the louder sections begin as it gets too loud. The only thing that comes to mind is doing some sort of normalization.

>I often paused reading and put on the track on a given page

I wonder if this is done in the audiobook version of these types of books by default. It would seem like a missed opportunity not to.
