Suggestion:
Add an option to auto adjust the preamp and to auto save/load the setting for each song.

Reason:
Most people have MP3's from many recorded sources which means they are recorded with many different volumes. It is teadeous to set a different preamp setting for each song and it is impossible to match it with other songs.

How it "works":
Find the highest peak while playing a song and save an adjusted preamp setting for that song. When WA plays the song a second time, the new feature "auto save/load preamp" keeps evey song the same output (volume). Volume is still adjustable, just the loudest part of every song will be the same volume with out MANUALLY adjusting the volume or preamp.

Results:
Winamp users get 'same volume' (better quality) music with no extra effort on thier part.
