Totally know what you're explaining.
Probably a bad encode or original rip.
That's what I'm hearing too. I particularly noticed on "Can't You Feel The Love Tonight", probably only since I was using headphones. It sounds more like the source audio, rather than processing or the levels too hot. Either way, its unnoticable to 99% of the listeners out there and nothing in comparison to the horrid KHLX audio we were griping about years ago on this board!
Dave and Amanda, keep up the good work. Overall station sounds good and I do enjoy the music selection.
