Nice, I hope something good will come of that. I either win a prize, or they enforce the standard, Iām fine either way
Iām definitely against loudness war and always try to support any fight against it, but ⦠whatās the point of this one? I even canāt make selections on their form, because 2 of the 3 selections didnāt have an option which I could agree with. And as we can see here: thereās competing organisations behind the quest: both Turn Me Up and Dynamic Range are both listed as āpartnersā of this ācompetitionā ⦠and there must be more of them out there. If they really are looking at the same goal, why donāt they unite?
Some years ago I registered on Dynamic Range, because they had better conditions on joining them than Turn Me Up did. But since I joined them, they have f*cked up everything. Itās not anymore an organisation, but money-making business with their āActive Membershipā system.
Sorry for a rant. Iāve just lost my faith on these organisations.

I think I agree, dynamic tracks tend to sound better than compressed tracks. The problem is that most of these mp3 players donāt go very loud. My uncompressed music isnāt very loud at all on my Sony Walkman, while the professional rock tracks that have the life compressed out of them are some better.
All that goes out the window when you play on a speaker system, since itās much easier to crank up the volume. The problem is that most mp3 players will only go so loud. But letās face it, alot of these kids and old folks who arenāt involved in the music industry really donāt notice/care the difference (thus the majority statistic on that site).
