By compression they mean dynamic range compression, which loudens softer sounds so they are more audible.
Pop songs for example, are heavily compressed because "compressed" music sounds "better" on cheap external speakers with bad dynamic range. Kinda like increasing the saturation on a cheap TFT panel.
