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?

    Maybe you’re not really paying attention to the radio but when you listen to music you do and it is fatiguing after a while.

      This is how it works for me. The radio plays songs I’m not all that interested in, so it fades into the background and I can listen to it for hours without issue. My own songs are interesting to me, so I actively pay attention to them, but that also means I get brain fatigue from that attention.

        It’s also how I listen to music. I pick a playlist or album and I gloss over everything that I don’t like. As soon as something I like goes on it turns on my attention. I study piano, compose, etc so I also try to make sense of what in hearing. Attention is fatiguing.
