     All of this is further complicated when the symbols are used
incorrectly on the CD itself.  Look at the label of the Pop recording
of Creedence Clearwater Revival "Chronical" which is a compilation of
most of their original hits of the 60's & 70's.  This CD is marked
"DDD" !!  Maybe all the background hiss on this "all digital" CD is
from excessively noisy microphones?! :-)
