Unintended Consequences? Digital Streaming
I’ve concluded that I must have misattributed compressed sounding titles to a 16bit/44mHz format when it was more likely due to lesser quality, compressed [recordings] insteadCorrect. +1

I don't agree on this one, Erik. Perhaps it is because I'm not vested nor engaged in this thread. Outsider perspective.
