Nonetheless because people now listen to music on their iPods while on the street, in trains or cars, you need your master to sound as "loud" as posible. Dynamic range is less important in this case. This is also why mastering is definitely needed. At least if we're talking of "commercial" music. If talking of classical or avantgarde, dynamic range is still and hopefully will always be sacred.
