I would appreciate some recommendations as to settings, especially to achieve a shelf (as against peak) for limiting volume. I'm trying to use this for listening to classical music in the car, where typically you have to turn the volume way up for the soft passages, then you get blown away by the loud ones.

The limiter is just for preventing distortion from boosting the preamp or equalizer bands. It sounds like you need to use replaygain so the levels for all your tracks end up around the same decibel level

I guess what rickrobin wants to do is to reduce the dynamic range, ie reduce the volume difference between the loud and soft sections of the song. ReplayGain would ideally leave the relative Dynamic Range alone. RG instead would brings up the overall loudness of the song to a defined standard, but it shouldn't impact the relative peak differences. What rickrobin needs is a Dynamic Range Compressor, and I guess that the CPUs of phones are underpowered to do this. Ideally, you'd use a audio editing tools on the PC, and then transfer the results onto the phone. These effects are (usually) not reversible, so be sure you have a copy of the original backed up somewhere. Do note that if the Dynamic Range is reduced too much, it leads to an 'auditory fatigue', as seen on many recent popular AudioCDs getting labelled by ppl with 'Loudness Wars'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compressionen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war
