> I see... But is there a list of problem CD's? If you want the music in question, what's the alternative? In some regards this is hardly a new problem. Besides CDs, I have many poorly mastered LP records (though the problems are generally of a different nature), but the only other option is to not listen to the music. The choice becomes which is the lesser of two evils.
Unfortunately the music industry is as susceptible to fads and fashions as any other aspect of life and "hot" recordings are currently all the rage. Sadly, a high percentage of the public only listens to music in their car or from iPods, or just doesn't know what a truly good recording should sound like. Overall it is only a small portion of buyers who actually complain about the "loudness wars." While it can't hurt to voice our displeasure, I really don't hold out much hope for improvement anytime soon. In fact, some artists who I thought knew better have recently turned out over-compressed, nasty recordings. What a pity; I don't think we're even holding ground on this issue. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36476 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
