Re: MMM Records

I don't think that looks like MP3 encoding. It looks like a notch filter to me. I have no idea why the hell you'd notch 13-16kHz, but it's been done. It's a notched attenuation.

If it was FM sourced, there would be nothing above the 15kHz pilot, so that's out. I think there was an irritating whine here for one reason or another and the boot boys removed it.

It COULD have been variable bitrate MP3, THEN notched out. Either way, it's screwed, but it's not FM and I don't think it's MP3 either, unless it is VBR.
