If you can't find or don't want to pay for a suitable car radio or MP3 player, you could create some music files that are more suitable for in-car listening. That isn't usually a problem for "loud" genres such as pop, hip-hop and dance music, but can be a problem for classical music and jazz. Car radios therefore have to operate within a restricted dynamic range. If you're driving a car, there's a high level of background noise, so the quiet passages have to be louder than that. Normally, music is recorded on the assumption that people will listen to it in a quiet environment: quiet passages will be quiet and loud ones loud.

Also, radio stations are well aware that car drivers are listening in a noisy environment, and even classical stations may increase the level of compression on "drive time" shows. This has lead to the so-called loudness wars, where tracks have their dynamic range compressed and the gain increased so they always sound loud. There's probably not much need for a "loudness" control nowadays because most pop and rock tracks are mastered with extreme loudness built in. If you can plug an MP3 player into your car radio for playback, that might solve the problem. Samsung models, for example, have included settings such as 3D Sound, Bass Boost, and Concert Hall. If you can't find a car radio with similar options (or if readers can't suggest any) then you can find them in portable MP3 players. DSPs can also change the sound to give different effects, so you could have a "concert hall" or a "car radio" type of sound. Today, cheap DSP (digital signal processing) chips make it easy to do, and a modern "loudness" control should be able to make far more accurate changes to compensate for changes in sound pressure levels at different volumes.
