But I really think they are beginning to use the more f***ed-up technique on newer releases. Ok, maybe it's just a coincidence - but both cd's that I mentioned above are brand-new...(De-Phazz from Universal / Westbam from BMG) so it looks like they press cd's that depend on the player's interpolation capabilities.
Thus giving you different audio-quality on different players...basically you don't hear the original music, but your player's version of it - while it is trying to fill up the space the 'fake-errors' take on the CD.
At least this is my understanding of how this stuff works.
And how I see it, it sucks big time.
