Not to mention that the biggest problem, at least in music, isn't the absolute peak (or normalization), but rather dynamic compression. Everything mastered (or "remastered") since the late '90s has been destroyed with dynamic compression to make it "louder." It's the biggest crime against art in our times, but is poorly understood even by musicians who complain about it. Interestingly it's the older ones, like Neil Young and Bob Dylan who have been the most vocal about it, but incorrectly attribute it to data compression or sampling rates.
