#42Isn't this what the "sound check" feature is supposed to do (normalize volume across media)?
Re: Turn the radio volume down for adverts and DJs talking
#43This is needed desperatly for regular TV. On some channels ad volume is much higher then mov volume so when ads start during chillex movie you get totally stressed.

A good strategy, but this product is for someone seeking a different experience than you.
It relies on radio changing metadata when ad plays or DJ talks, do that even happen often ?
For automated stations it should happen (nearly) instantly. Most "nicer" radios have RDS[1] built into them and high latency would be confusing to users, so updating it quickly is part of having a nice listener experience.

This is great. I wish there was a way to limit the volume on Alexa devices for different services, especially Spotify. I like to fall asleep to podcasts, but it wakes my girlfriend up when the commercials start (especially iHeartRadio commercials!), so I either have it so low I can barely hear or I have to fall asleep to rain/ocean sounds.
You could just pay for premium
Never

#46This won't be relevant for TuneIn (since it's Internet Radio), but you could probably do something similar to this on some FM channels by reading the RDS[1] messages accompanying the broadcast. That would depend on the channel signaling advertising, however, and I'm not sure that's normally included in RDS.

#47A script for automatically lowering the volume during radio advertisements and DJ announcements and turns the volume back up when songs are playing. It controls a Sonos speaker using the Soco-cli Python library when Tunein is being used.

why not just pay $10/month?
sleep must worth more than that

#48This is even more important for classical music stations. Most people think that classical music should be quiet, but do you think 100 piece orchestras are quiet? Classical music sounds a lot better when you crank up the volume.
Classical is also mixed quieter to give it a larger dynamic range. So when you set the radio volume appropriate for the music, the DJs and ads are insanely loud.

At what point is it considered theft though? If I refuse to look at an ad when it plays is it theft? If I get distracted and not watch it for half the time it runs, is it half theft? If I watch the whole thing and don't actually click through, is that theft? There's no contract that I've signed that demands my full attention is on the ad. So, half my attention is ok? A quarter? How about none? Is it enough that I kno…
At whatever point the content creator fails to get paid for the ad being "viewed" I would assume.

Many podcasts insert their own ads, depending on which show they are listening to, in which case paying for Spotify won't make a difference.
