Lines: 15 sorry to dissapoint you, but speeding up tunes is standard practice on a few stations. I don't think the point is to pack more songs into a certain time period, but by speeding them up, people tend to feel that they are a little more "up beat." In addition, many stations play around with equalization out the wazoo, people running the boards don't pay attention to meter levels (they only make sure they wiggle with they're supposed to), they have compressors on each audio band, etc., to try to pack more sound into the carrier. All this is done to try to make the station sound "better" and it probably works in attracting larger audiences if only a few stations do it...human engineering and all that. -- Ken Shoemaker, Intel, Santa Clara, Ca. {pur-ee,hplabs,amd,scgvaxd,dual,idi,omsvax}!intelca!kds
