Abstract
Disclosed is a method of operating an audio signal processing apparatus playing content including an audio signal. The method includes receiving the audio signal, receiving metadata including information related to a loudness of the audio signal, the metadata including loudness distribution information indicating, for each of a plurality of steps separated according to a loudness magnitude, a ratio between an amount of the audio signal corresponding to each of the plurality of steps of the audio signal and a total amount of the audio signal, and adjusting the loudness of the audio signal based on the metadata.
