Well I'm kind of an audio nerd, and the radios are great to listen to in the background, so I guess that explains it.
You probably can't find it, but it's relatively easy to figure out by just browsing the original game files, since the audio files (except for SFX.RAW/DAT) are all unpacked.
The most damning piece of evidence is that they have twice the encoder delay (mp3 encoders add a few samples at the beginning and end) that the file would have if encoded once (from VC PS2 for example).

How did you find out those mp3s were encoded twice?
