Oh, that's interesting. I'd been thinking of getting a cheap portable
DAB radio (thinking about the Bush one for £50 at Aldi's just now.) How
does it compare to the R3 broadcast you get on Freeview? I've recorded a
few of them, and the quality was good. Not CD quality, but I thought it
compared well with good quality FM recordings. Is it really not worth
buying a DAB radio? The portability is important.


So buy a portable DAB then - who cares about the nth degree of *quality* for
'music on the move'???

True- but I wouldn't always be listening to it on noisy trains (or the
atrociously noisy Manchester trams!) where it wouldn't make a difference
at all.

(And at 50 quid FFS!) Better to get 100% of a
'reasonably good' signal to have a supposedly better one (?) coming and
going, isn't it?

Sure, but I'd probably be interested in recording some stuff onto my
laptop from it. I was just wondering how the quality would compare to
freeview, that's all. I'm probably still going to buy it!
