It's cool. I have some programs that allow me to edit songs that I create at home. When I use them to edit or eQ recordings, I found out how easy it is to ruin some of the finer points of songs by accident. The only thing that amazes me is that there is a huge contingent of recording professionals who have ascribed to doing it on purpose.

A great way to figure out the difference is to listen to some HD records on YouTube [[usually somebody playing an LP) and then listen to the same songs from a reissued collection on Amazon or iTunes.

Here's another example of it. Unlike most here, I like a lot of Nirvana, so hopefully it doesn't freak any of our soul purists out...

Thanks jerry,i think that radio stations get away with this is because most of the listeners don't know or don't care about the difference,i sure do and thank you again.
