I'm prepared to widen my 'angle of acceptability' a tad.

The *fun* element has skated right over any concerns about quality
and it has been a blast - perfect background music for dilling
around, avoiding doing anything *actually* useful....!! :-)



BTW, Prime Time is 128kbps on DAB and 192kbps on digital satellite,
therefore far better audio quality on digital satellite.

Fair comment Steve, but much of the appeal is the 'portability' atm - I can
move it here and there and 'plug it in' where I want.

(It even worked fine on the passenger seat in my car the other day!!)
