Just read through a couple pages of comments. It's pretty interesting what the general population thinks. Some think it's a de facto copy protection scheme to make mp3's sound terrible while others think it better because compilation CD's are easier to make since all the tracks are closer to the same volume.
Interesting to hear comments from the end user side of the argument.
I thought the article and video were a pretty weak presentation. A journalist is not going to change anything. It will be an artist that takes a chance at the right time with the right material to make a difference.
I remember there was a PJ Harvey record that drove me nuts because it was super loud and then super quiet. I always wondered what motivated the production choices on that CD. It was like every other chorus was a hidden track because I would forget I was listening to music and then suddenly it would get loud again. Who knows, maybe it was great.
It would be nice to hear more music use the dynamic range a CD can provide and not just at the beginning and the end of songs.
