   No argument from me, but of course the OP's MP3's don't either, or he   
   wouldn't be asking how to add high frequencies.

   Most people find it objectionable in photo's, video, voice and music. Only   
   rarely is it ever added deliberately, and then only by people with weird   
   ideas about what is "artistic".

   Yep, no shortage of people who think "art" is anything vastly inferior to   
   reality.
