The fact is, this has always been a problem from time to time. Bad song quality means you know they're downloading it illegally and to make a song sound crap on a 96 kb/s radio is quite a big feat to achieve. I'd personally clamp down and start literary warning people for bad song quality, may sound harsh but it'll get DJs on their feat and actually try bother to get legal quality music.
Also, the fact is that if DJs with silly quality microphones get through in the first place shows that there is something not right in the hiring process.
