Viridian: Respectfully disagree.
How is music less accessible without levels of dynamic compression used today? Tens of millions of people listen to music put on their iPods and car stereos via CD before the abusive levels of compression became the drug of choice.
A volume control gives each individual the appropriate level decibels desired (hardware as you point out). All the abusive levels of compression used now do is crush artistry, beauty, and nuances that make music wonderful.
