Yeah, it's dynamic compression. It's a different algorithm than is used in Hijack, so it's possible people will prefer one or the other. I personally think that once v3 is stable enough to be the player of choice for everybody, Mark should dump the VolAdj stuff from Hijack. Unless there's a real marked difference between the two algorithms... I personally don't like the dynamic compression approach, and would prefer a fixed per-track gain adjustment applied based on the RMS or peak level of the track. Unfortunately the one time this was tried, it caused problems, and it never got a chance to see the light of day in a finished form. I'm crossing my fingers that it might make it in some day, though.
