Re: 90s shows in poor sound

True. I remember thinking with horror that a song took nearly FOUR MEGABYTES - it would take up to four floppy disks to store it, zipped with spanning.  In those days we went to desperate lengths to save every byte: look at the 1990s Geocities websites to get some idea how parsimonious we were with media.

Nowadays, I regard a 700MB movie as "sub-standard quality" and use the 1.4GB version because it's a bit nicer  :-)

I know the answer!!! (raises hand) Ok, its a crap guess....

I think it MAY be because the 90's is when people first started turning audio into MP3, and in the early days of doing that, some horrible errors were made in making small files, as people had tiny hard drives and were sharing with dial up. These days we can make reasonably small files that don't sound quite that bad. But some of those early MP3s are really horrendous. That might be why you see a quality dip in the 90's as things moved from audio tape to early MP3s.
