No, this is nothing to do with encoding. I am talking about the "make
it loud" dynamics compression that all radio stations do. The big idea
with DAB was that they would not do this on the digital feed, and the
choice would lie with the listener whether to squash the nuts out of
everything or not.
Didn't happen.
The technology simply won't overcome human nature and marketing stupidity.
They're compressing/clipping the crap out of CDs now, too.
