There is a thread on alt.radio.digital.



Jim,


Perhaps you could use your vast influence at the Beeb [:-)]


sic :-)

so that this "experiment" continues after the The Last Night!


TBH at present I've not decided if for me 320k gives a satisfactory
trade-off between reliability of stream connection and quality. Dunno about
you, but so far, each time I've tried the current experimental stream I get
drop outs on average about once or twice an hour (about 1 sec lost each
time) which rather disrupts listening to a long piece of music. Wheras at
128k or 192k I almost never get such dropouts.

Slainte,

Jim
