My dad emailed me this link quite a while ago and I finally took the time to watch the short film. Even though it was on my iPad the sound difference between MP3 and uncompressed was distinct. In my experience, some music shows the differences more than others but this was significant. It is interesting to see the artist's perspective on compressed audio. Also, note what appears to be a modern looking 8track player.
The demonstrations at 12:00 are examples of dynamic range compression, not bit compression...all done by the same artists and recording engineers complaining on the video.
Yes, the demonstrations were highly deceptive, trying to show that bit compression resulted in a ridiculously distorted sound resembling severe amplifier clipping.
