[Dixielandjazz] NPR.org - The Loudness Wars: Why Music Sounds Worse

Here's a link to the NPR story feature about changing in recording techniques, MP3 and "why music sounds worse."  The  story seems to make sense to me, but I am not a "sound" expert and I have some decreased hearing acuity consistent with my age--mid 70s.  Some of this has been discussed, in part, on these lists before, but, I'd be especially interested in what Jim Kashishian and other experts have to say on this.
