People can simply set the volume on the player louder if there's more background sounds. The trick to the loudness wars is to sound louder (than other songs) at the _same_ volume. If a bar or radio is in the background at a fixed volume, the loudest songs stand out.

Not if the volume is uneven. The either the silent parts will be inaudible or the loud parts will be extremely loud.
