The future of the WGMU stream

After getting permission to take the status of the WGMU broadcast system into my own hands, I went into the Johnson Center today with the intention of improving our stream to make it more accessible to everyone, on every operating system, without relying on the proprietary WMA format. (Also, I did a bit for the sound quality).

The Loudness Wars

Assuming my grasp on logic isn't completely broken, it seems to be that as technology progresses through the years, it should improve. Cars go faster, buildings get stronger, computers get smaller, things like that. Why, then, have CDs started to sound WORSE? Why is it that if I compare ABBA's "One Of Us" on a 1983 CD to the same song on a 2005 remaster, it has less dynamics and feels more muddy? Why does each drum hit stay at the same volume, but make the music behind it go away, instead of just being louder than it is?

Dear Smelly, 1

I am tired.
But more than that, I am frustrated.
This rain won't let up, my work life is in shambles, my bills are paid but my money is almost non-existent. My cat played "scratch toy" with my text book.
I am tired.
