The article mentions how deeply compressed the files we played were back then, but I'm pretty sure nowadays it's even worse.

Not at all. Any song on youtube uploaded in the last 5-10 years is as good as a 320 kbit mp3. Why would it be with the bandwidth anyone has to today?

Obviously you've never listened to SiriusXM.

But seriously, the poster is probably complaining about how most modern music is heavily compressed in dynamic range, so that it sounds better on crappy earbud headphones and smartphone speakers.
