Last year I put my music collection on an SD card and slapped it into a hifiman walker mp3 player. I quickly discovered that having a device solely for music has made my listening much more deliberate, and I’ve listened to more music more often than I ever have because of it. I even plug it in my car instead of using bluetooth

I just think we should all go back to physical media CDs for music and blu ray for films is what I am currently doing

My understanding is that the streaming services basically ended the loudness war by imposing volume normalition. I’m not sure that I want to restart it.

That’s true, from a certain point of view. What they actually did was give everyone a common target. We still get everything compressed and limited into a flat line, just now we don’t have to adjust the volume on our stereo between songs.

I donlt know if mastering engineers are doing so, but the streaming services removed the volume benefit to doing so. If you use DRC, your music will be cut in volume.
