Well, I've argued this issue over and over, and have yet to be
convinced in the slightest that Radio 3 should have a 50% higher bit
rate than Radios 1 & 2. Given the following reason, I really do not
have a clue how you can actually argue that Radio 3 should have a
far higher bit rate than Radios 1 or 2:


Clue. Look at the dynamic range of the samples on your website. R1&2 -
about 3 dB. R3 - about 25.



Exactly! It is the narrow dynamic range that makes R1 and R2 more
difficult to encode than R3.

I bet that's confused ya!
