We're using MPEG-2, 256kbps. Enough said?

Sometimes when a station wants to add an old song that they don't have in their library, they'll just steal it off the web. So you the listener hear a data-reduced file imported into the automation system and converted to a data-reduced file again and then played through an Orban Optimod or other type of processor. You can't help but notice.
