Does anyone else think that a radio station broadcast often sounds 
better than the CD playing in the CD player (i.e. not CD transferred to 
MP3)? Is this due to the audio engineer fine tuning with the equalizer, 
or has the CD "recording" been intentionally neutered. I've been seeing 
on the playlist of internet radio stations, something like "AAAA (radio 
edit)" for some songs.

The needle drops sounded odd the first few times, but I just got used to it.
