Ha, ha, ha!  I find this very funny.  The recording companies will soon
discover that very few people actually want dynamic range - when you just
have that Beethoven string quartet on as quiet dinner music you can't even
hear the quiet parts. Likewise, in your car,  you can't hear anything at
all unless it is all uniformly at the threshold of pain.  So before too
long you'll find all CD's sounding exactly like cassette tapes.  

Cheers...
