Untrue. The "loudness" is done in mixdown and mastering. Most producers of
contemporary music look for a heavy, dense sound.

What radio stations do today is wrong and the listenership is falling
off.


I see. People are going to 128 kbs mp3's because radio sounds bad?

Again, the limited dynamic range is necessary to keep al program content
above the noise level of the listening environment. Radio is not the same as
listening to a CD.
