Have you considered using a low bitrate internet radio station as a
compressed music source?
They're obviously less than CD quality, but should be fine for
background music & they already use

The plan was for 5 amps (PCP with Pi3 + Justboom amp HAT) in dual mono,
for 10 speakers. For the moment ther

These are commercial refrigeration units similar to these:

Hi!
Cancelling the noise of your refrigeration units may not be as easy as
you think - how many independent units are there?

Using a compressor is actually what I am experimenting with right now. I
would say job done if the end result was a less tiring/fluctuating audio
stream.
Regarding auto-volume control, reading from the comments I no longer
expect as much. I did also a bit of testing and pumping the volume up I

I've never found ReplayGain to really do an adequate job of adjusting
volume so that I never had to adjust the volume of music playing
randomly. Older CDs, especially, before the loudness wars and the
massive compression employed in later releases, are still noticeably
quieter.
IMO, the only way
I think we can consider the topic closed.
My thanks for the interesting and varied contributions!

I think you'll never keep people happy even after adding automation.

This is totally off-topic for an audiophiles section, but my
recommendation for this would be to parts.
Step 1, get a an SPL meter. There are some out there with USB so you
could try and do data logging.

Sorry if the post is off topic for this forum.
I have put a player in a store a few weeks ago. People who work there
keep changing the volume on the player although it uses track replaygain
and plays at random from a specific library.
Not only they change volume but they have one single complain a
