Subject: RE: Tech: CD sound - has anyone noticed this??
Now I've read the Times article - wot I said, innit!
It was going fine until it got to this point:
"Downloading has exacerbated the effect. Songs are compressed once again into digital files before being sold on iTunes and similar sites. The reduction in quality is so marked that"
Whoa there - totally different application of the word compression, serious confusion results.
Low bit rate MP3s and WMAs are also a sound quality problem, but a different one from the dynamic range compression that's being done on pop CDs.
