No. The point is that you never have to normalize music. And there are
times when leaving it as you mixed it is exactly the right thing to do.

You can ampilfy both channels to exploit the dynamic range of the
operational environment, which while netting out to being a similar process,
is conceptually and practically a different thing.

Or you can individually amplify or attenuate each file in a compendium, so
that the perceived loudness of the files in a compendium meet a practical or
an artistic need that relates to the whole compedium.
