Space Dog,
Appreciate your taking the time to listen and respond. Yes, I love melodies that have something I can remember. Have a difficult time with the current trend to mono-note or non-existant melodies. I wonder if the reason for all the vocal gymnastics that are so popular today is that they are searching for a melody that isn't there.

Tim,
I'm wondering if the problem is in my soundcard. Since I am using only the prescribed compression (MP3,44100Hz, 128 kbps, stereo)I'm wondering if it would help to reduce the volume. It does sound a little too "hot" to me.
