If there is a big variation in the level that traks were recorded
at, I would have thought it would be possible to scan the next
track in the playlist to find the peak level, and the average
level, and then adjust the volume accordingly.
I think the trouble is more likely to be, as other posters have
pointed out, that some tracks are very compressed and so sound
"louder" than less compressed tracks, although the peak levels
are the same.
