Just curious who does.
I do on my portable vorbis files, but not on my home use flac.

For portable use only. I'll use MP3Gain to level all my files to about 91db. Nothing worse than a loud track and then a quiet track while driving and then you fumble as you're blasted by a loud song again.
I did not mention but I use Media Monkey's audio leveling option when I convert from FLAC to Vorbis.

This is what I was getting at for leveling my audio, I hate when this happens and it really screws with my hearing if it does in fact happen. I do not listen to just one album at a time, sometimes, but rarely just random the whole player.

I'm curious, do you make the average loudness on every track 89 dB? For instance, if one track is already 89 dB and the next track is 70dB, do you bring the 2nd one up to the loudness of the first? If so, it seem to me that you're killing the dynamics. Or are you doing it for an album as a whole? I tried soundcheck or what ever it's called on the iPod for a little while but got very frustrated with it. It applied the gain on a track by track basis which was really annoying on albums that are continues music with arbitrary tracking.
