It was in TBT a few days ago.

Seems that more and more producers and groups are using MP3's, and more specifically ipods as their end goals. That is, they are mixing the final products to sound good with lots of compression, and through tiny earbuds, since that's where most music ends up these days.

They are also mastering songs louder, for the same reasons.

Worse yet, when asked, most ipod users assumed that they were getting 'cutting edge' sound, from their ipod, since it was a 'cutting edge' device.

Great...
