Music labels regularly pump-up the volume at the expense of quality. You might not know it, but this affects most platforms; from satellite radio to mp3 players. The IEEE takes a crack at explaining this phenomenon, of course there is a bit of FUD involved; “But the loudness war could be doing more than simply pumping up the volume and angering aficionados—it could be responsible for halting technological advances in sound quality for years to come.” Let’s face it, while there are a few aficionados who still purchase vinyl, it’s hardly a large enough group to endanger progress.
