Also many manufacturers refuse to adopt standards between them that makes this all possible, one company will say "mine is better", then another will say the same. So you end up with several different versions of the same thing.Remember dvd + or -


Would be good if there was one standard built into all new digital playback devices. I'm all for it. Though I think the artists should stop being so competitive with loudness. I've seriously never heard anyone say, "oh that cd sux cause it's not loud enough", providing it's a reasonable master. It's usually the artist thinking that. Loud masters don't actually bother me too much unless they are over-maximised, it's clipping I despise. The louder you turn it up the worse it sounds.

No this is'nt another clipping vs non-clipping post, this is my personal preference.
