Yes. My version of the waveforms look like that, but if I take a closer

I will put up a screenshot or two on the web later this evening.

It looks like an amplifier soft clipping and it sounds like that too.
However, I admit that I hardly ever decode MP3s here so it could be my
freebie decoder (or an incompetent operator).
