[QUOTE="AVSA Andrew, post: 81211, member: 396"] What Steerpike said. Obviously the more they try cram on, the more likely you are to pick up issues, but if the mastering/recording/etc has been done poorly, you can have a CD with only one track on it, and it's still going to sound awful. I had a long conversation years ago with a reader, back in the early days of DVD, and he had been fighting with one of the music companies over a DVD, which was Dolby 5.1, but he was expecting it to sound exactly like another music DVD he had, which was also Dolby 5.1. He eventually asked me if he was being unrealistic to expect them both to sound the same, and I said, "yes". He thought that all DVDs would sound the same, so long as they all had Dolby 5.1 soundtracks, which is never going to happen. It all starts with the quality of the original recording, and how things are done from then onwards. [/QUOTE]
