In an example embodiment, an audio device is provided with one or more processors and a computer-readable tangible medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed, direct the one or more processors to access a target audio file and access a set of evaluated levels associated with one or more preset frequency bands in the target audio file. The computer-readable tangible medium also has instructions that direct the processor to create a set of comparatively balanced levels by comparatively balancing a set of actual levels associated with the one or more preset frequency bands in the target audio file to at least approximate a set of reference levels associated with the one or more preset frequency bands. The computer-readable tangible medium further has instructions that direct the processor to play the target audio file with the set of comparatively balanced levels.
