It's called a concept. I understand music bands have been engaged in the
same process trying to sound louder than the other bands.

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

It is true. Take the cotton out of your ears. Of course it is done with
track mixing. You think the musicians are compressing their physical
instruments? Hilarious!

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?

People resort to MP3 to save disk space not because it sounds good. MP3
is not all the same as you can determine the level of compression. And
before you get all crazy dynamic range compression is not the same thing
as data compression.

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.

The old record were capable of around 80 dB and CD's are around 90 dB. I
don't see why radio stations can't do 80 dB. The transmitters can handle
85% modulation.

And as for previous statements about table top radio with speakers only
a foot apart being worthless for stereo these can generate decent stereo
separation through electronic delay processing.

Hey, I just heard a spot for HD radio. I can answer it this way,
American's are smart enough to stay away from it. Ha, ha.
