I believe I am a typical user, in that I rarely play music from a source other than my phone. If I change anything about a music file (metadata or otherwise), it is only useful if that change makes it to my phone. So from my perspective it is really important for changes such as track leveling to be synced, whether for 10 files or for 25K.
That said, others may have strong and conflicting opinions. A possible "best of both worlds" solution might be to have a preference such as "Synchronize files with minor or metadata-only changes". If enabled, synchronization would attempt to fully synchronize. If disabled, some changes predicted to be of potentially low value could be omitted when synchronizing.
Absent such a preference, I hope you'll go with syncing leveling changes... The ability to change the target level in metadata without rewriting the music content of a file is a fantastically useful feature of MediaMonkey. But it's currently very difficult to get value out of it for anyone who primarily plays music from their phone.
Thanks for considering it.
