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


Steve the digitalradiotech fella has just sent his round his email list,
fyi etc:

The BBC has launched an "experimental" 320 kbps AAC Internet stream
carrying the Proms. The stream will be available until the Last Night of
the Proms on Saturday 11th September, and the BBC would like people to
listen to the stream while the Proms are on, then to provide feedback by
filling in a short online questionnaire.

As it is an extreme rarity for the BBC to care about the audio quality
it delivers on digital radio, let alone experiment with a bit rate as
high as 320 kbps, I would urge as many of you as possible to have a
listen to this stream and to fill in the online questionnaire afterwards.

The 320 kbps AAC stream can be found he

The online questionnaire is he

can be found he
