Has anyone else heard clipping distortion in albums bought/streamed from Google Play Music? Since they're offering 320-MP3s for download I thought this was legitimate high-quality music they were selling here, but I've got at least 3 albums now that have substantial clipping in the downloadable sound files themselves (checked with ears and confirmed with Audacity's clipping detection functions), which can also be heard when web-streaming the same songs or playing the corresponding free samples, regardless of playback volume or device.
Two clear example tracks would be "Power-Trip Ballad" by Maria Mena, from the "Cause and Effect" album, and "365 Days" by ZZ Ward, from "Til the Casket Drops".
