I've been occasionally comparing stuff up on the Marketplace with stuff I've ripped, and it occurs to me that sometimes there's way more artifacts in the Pass music than I'd expect for the bitrate.
I've also heard clipping in a fairly notable number of tracks. However, when comparing from my own rips, sometimes the levels are lower than my clip-less rips.
Anyone else experienced this discrepancy? Anyone got any kind of answer from Zune? It's not a consistent issue - i.e. I can't tie it down to age of music, etc as of yet.
Question about
Artifacts and clipping in tracks?
about half my music is un-drm'd and the other half is zune pass.
Artifacting: I don't get any.
Clipping: nope.
Volume levels: No problems with this that can be blamed on zune. Some albums are actually just louder by default due to the mixing process. Listen to any song of Death Magnetic and then listen to Master of Puppets. same band ones way louder because of the way they mixed it witch is hella annoying.
