Wouldn't that be something? A day where I bought a CD and it didn't clip because some asshat in a booth thought to crank the gain too much.

I read it here. I am sick of the asshats too. :mad:

If I understand this stuff right I am kind of surprised that in the Atlantic article he didn't mention that if you listen to this stuff on a decent system that it sounds like utter crap. You have to be listening in the car or on your ipod for it to sound ok.

Kind of an old issue we have known about this problem with new music for a decade or so.
