[BC] Wow, I wonder if you feel the same way about AM?

Jeff Glass said:  Realistically, I don't think the general public cares one way or the other about audio quality. That fact is largely the reason that the processing feud between Engineering and Programming has been going on for so long. Neither side has COMPELLING evidence against the other.
 
My 2 cents:  I feel the public doesn't understand what we're doing to be louder than each other and the fact that we do it is ridiculous (to me).  The public also doesn't understand all those liners, positioning statements and the like.  That's the repetitious talk that turns them off.   Heavy processing drives 'em off, too.  Frustration with all of that is why I have the hobby www.FunRadio.us.  If you give it a listen, be sure to click on the Winamp box.  That's playing the stream encoded by Opticodec-PC SE Version 2.2.20.  
 
Today's technology makes high quality audio so easy to achieve, yet, we're bound and determine to screw the audio up.
 
And, can someone please stop the square wave insanity on modern CD's?
 
Thank you.
