I picked up the new Beatles box set and loaded the first CD onto ITunes. (I like to burn my own compiliations.) Here's the problem: When I play it back, the vocal tracks sound like they are in the background. The vocals are overwhelmed by the instrumental tracks.

Could it perhaps be a way of preventing people from copying the CDs? ie, DRM.

Clarification: a way of preventing people from making *quality* copies of the CDs.(?)
