I find this very funny. The recording companies will soon discover that very few people actually want dynamic range - when you just have that Beethoven string quartet on as quiet dinner music you can't even hear the quiet parts. Likewise, in your car, you can't hear anything at all unless it is all uniformly at the threshold of pain. So before too long you'll find all CD's sounding exactly like cassette tapes.
