<p>Dear Ian: I "run" the domain for our website music-loudness.com
and have the host on my server. That's not a problem. The last
time our site died because I was not maintaining the Joomla site,
and boom, the hackers and the spammers crashed us. So I created a
simple html one page site. <br>
</p>
<p>But I don't have time to maintain a wordpress site for the MLA.
Wordpress has to be very hands on and you have to have all your
security constantly updated or you'll be attacked. <br>
</p>
<p>If you want to make a wordpress site for the MLA you're welcome
to do so. Let me know and I'll give you the keys to the back end!<br>
</p>
digido.com is now wordpress. It looks great and I'm very happy with
our new site. But it requires a lot of hands-on to keep all the
plugins updated and wordfence security and so on. I have a developer
doing most of the upkeep for a yearly fee and he earns his keep. <br>
<br>
<p>Bob</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>P.S. With Spotify, glad you've been interviewed! Please make it a
carrot and a stick. <br>
</p>
<p>Please stress that -14 LUFS is a start but it's just a start,
because -14 LUFS is too high for music unless:</p>
<p>a) it's for the loudest track in an album and they're doing album
normalization</p>
<p>b) limiting has to be removed (not sure if spotify has done that
or not)</p>
<p>c) no upward normalization if it would cause clipping<br>
</p>
<br>

Thanks for the heads-up, Thomas.

I actually think that’s a good point - there have been several bits of positive news recently, perhaps we (MLA) should put out a press release, celebrating this fact ?
The only thing is that if we did, I guess we would need the website up and running again, so there’s somewhere to point people to. I could potentially reach out to my audience and see if someone can rebuild the old site but running on Wordpress for us, if we still have access to hosting and the domain - Bob, would that work ?

PS. I was interviewed on Friday by a reporter who wants to do a piece for the Observer newspaper (Sunday edition of the Guardian) about Spotify’s level reduction - fingers crossed it will make it into print !

Hi,
It appears Apple now makes a coordinated effort to improve sound quality,

Lossless and better normalization ought to be part of this. We should thank Tidal for having raised the bar.
cheers,
Thomas
