It sucks to have my ears blown out when I'm in the middle of riding my bike...

Hey folks, you should all see an "Enable Audio Normalization" option under your Playback settings in the Android and iOS Spotify apps. Thanks for giving us your feedback here!

I use my iphone to play spotify at work and in the car. The volume difference is intolerable. My clients jump every time a new songs is played. I purchased an iphone just so that I could have spotify premium on the go. Maybe now I'll buy a netbook and tote it around with me, all for the use of spotify's volume control.

Agreed. It's really bad. I subscribe to Spotify specifically for the mobile app and the volume changes are horrible - some tracks I cannot hear and others way too loud on the same volume level. I use it to do my personal daily yoga practice and I end up having to mess with the radio the whole time instead of being able to focus on my practice. I will probably cancel my membership and go back to iTunes or Pandora, which I really don't want to do!

another vote for volume normalization - even better, volume gain. A lot of old music is recorded at very low volumes.

If the cross-fade function worked, this wouldn't be a problem.  It's basically just there in the Settings for looks.  The developers at Spotify are amateurs!!!

Yes.  Volume normalization is critical for mobile  use.    Ipad, and Iphone.   Playlists are a huge part of Spotify and without this feature I tend to just use my Ipod for playlists.  Especially when I'm not going to be  near my mobile device.

Not only for mobile users... having selected various tracks in a playlist (let's say, for a birthday party), a normalized output would be great!

I would love this feature too in the Androidversion!
Using the app very much in my car and sometimes it can be really a big different in volumes between tracks.
One is really quiet so you get your volume high, and next song you almost blow your speakers out =(
