This is where Apple's dominance of digital music starts to pay off... Bob Katz ran some tests on iTunes radio and found that Apple’s Sound Check™ algorithm actually attenuates loudly mastered music by more than 7dB. Meaning that well mastered music sounds louder!
"There is so much available peak headroom now in iTunes Radio that anyone who wants to master their songs with more conservative levels and prefers higher peak-to-loudness ratios will produce music with immediate loudness and sound quality advantages, compared to what’s being played out there now. The cream will soon rise to the top. The music will sound better, even a bit louder, and will attract more listeners.”
