And most funny part is the quality I love claps the in realaudio format I don't know why but even the 'to polished' tracks tend to sound a bit gritty and compressed. I've also heard a lot of mp3 's recordings of 12 inches and they may differ a lot ! I also love the visuel feedback in the eq in winamp a real nice welcome tool on mastering and dynamic control can also make a track nice and gritty
