The idea is that you don't have to adjust the playback volume when
switching from track to track. If you're driving in your car, working
out in the gym, or if you're DJ-ing in a dance club, it's one more
control you don't have to fiddle with.

If you're sitting in your easy chair in the living room, it's nice to
give your ears a little break now and then.




The automotive scenario being the 'driving factor' behind the crushing
that radio stations apply to the music. Kind of kills it for other
situations though.
