I hope this is the right community to ask. Are radio stations doing something to songs? Or is it the playlist they use? Or is it me?

Can I achieve the “radio effect” for any music somehow?

    Additionally, radio stations add loads of dynamic compression on to everything they play, making everything the same volume. This more or less eliminates the louds and softs of music, which makes for a smoother listening experience.

      I think this is a bigger factor than it seems like it would be. Radio is not high quality, and may be less fatiguing to hear. A higher quality recording subjects your ears to a lot more data.
