Dolph,

As anything else in audio I do not see the problem that we as experience in worsening of FM as technological problem but rather the failure of human factor. I have no problems with the fact that FM is digitalized and that most of the “live” FM broadcast run off the BWF files.

The problem is still people who do it as even the broadcasting of the row BWF allow a phenomenal quality if the people in the FM stations do not exercise their barbarianism.  There are two factors involved. Fists: no one edit live FM broadcast as there is not a lot of money in FM and the fact that the file are not intruded is huge. You can heard the instruments and people warm up as the performance progresses, you can hear normal reaction of musicians to own play – you can hear life as it unfolds without a “comfortably numb” sound. That comfortably numb of the “dead” sound is created by desire of sound engenders to improve something as there is no existing way to edit digital filers without activation DSP engine but use of DSP is a terminal death for digital recording. So, most of FM live broadcasts are row feeds. They append stat and end but they mostly don’t ”fix” the sound in file.  Second: the “sound quietly” of the people at the FM stations. This is huge as well. I have one of mine the most beloved local station WHRB - Harvard Radio Classical station and they have a phenomenal material and wonderful people working there. It is not very reach station with a lot of peoples contribute time and money voluntary sometime they run this programs fine with moderate compression and acceptable sound but sometimes, totally out of bleu, they the max out  compression au to the point that it exceeds all common sense. Now the question – why they do it? The answer - they do not care. In contrary I have another local classical station WGBH and this live broadcast have no problem with sound at all. Moreover the technician who works in there gave me his personal cell number and asked me to call him if I detect any compression in air during live broadcast. You see, it is not the equipment of technology but the people. BTW, in context of US emphasis compression does more damage to Sound then with European emphasis…

Yes, if everything comes together – the right people do the job and the recoding was proporly arranged then FM might throw outstanding results.  Here is what were hunting for… My hope is that my ideas of following:
