"DAB sounds worse than FM" wrote in message
...
Michael Chare asked on here a few weeks ago about whether it was possible
to receive the BBC's AAC Internet radio streams on any Wi-Fi-Internet
radio devices, so I thought some of you might be interested to know they
are now available on the Squeezebox if you install the Squeezebox's
iPlayer plug-in.

Some of the streams have been verified as being e.g. 128 kbps AAC where
appropriate, so I think it's pretty certain that they're the same streams
that are available via the iPlayer website (I'm certainly not aware of the
BBC launching any non-Flash-based AAC radio streams).


Thank you. In the meantime I have found the Dutch Avro internet stations
which use 256kbps MP3 format.

It's a pity more internet radio stations don't offer this quality, most of
them appear to have the same attitude to quality as UK Dab radio stations.

If the BBC can launch the iPlayer on Freesat receivers, which I am probably
will not be able to receive because of the limited of my broadband
connection,
they could increase the bandwidth of their internet radio stations which I
can receive.
