Thanks for confirming you have no idea what audio compression is. There are two forms of "audio compression" - one is dynamic range compression, and the other is data compression. The latter is what I'd always consider to be "audio compression", and I'd expect the former to be called by its full name or be called "audio processing" or just "processing". -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/da...ion_of_dab.htm |

So your test was actually from an age where the bit rates were far higher than they are today. So could you explain why your test results are relevant now???? -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/da...ion_of_dab.htm |

In article , BBC is biased towards DAB wrote: so it would mean using their computer. Wi-Fi Internet radio doesn't require your computer to be switched on at all. Shows how little you know about it. Most would consider Wi-Fi to be part of a computer installation. What difference does that make? Which probably isn't in the best place for using while in the kitchen. Where many do listen to the radio. Same as the bathroom. But if you live in one room it makes little difference. I have a Wi-Fi Internet radio in the kitchen - have done for getting on for 2 years, and I wouldn't want anything less - vast range of choice, better audio quality, and you can listen to your own music streamed from your PC. With that PC switched off? Make up your mind. If you're finding this difficult: YOu can listen to Internet radio on a Wi-Fi radio without your PC on. You obviously need your PC on if you want to listen to audio streamed from your PC, or else it would be difficult for the Wi-Fi radio to read the audio stored on the PC, wouldn't it? -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info The adoption of DAB was the most incompetent technical decision ever made in the history of UK broadcasting: http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/da...ion_of_dab.htm |

... You may take look at http://ondablancradio.com and http://radiofmlive.com Hope it helps Cheers If you like classical or jazz, have a look at Linn radio/classical/jazz - and at 320K mp3 some quality as well! -- Woody harrogate three at ntlworld dot com |

Been listening to it for ages. Their choral recordings are particularly pleasant. I've also been quite happy at times to listen to the Linn 320k mp3 streams. Ditto for various 320k files that the Concertgebouw released a few years ago as freebies. My impression is that the bitrate alone doesn't tell the entire story. The quality will also depend on how well the encoder 'judges' the audibility requirements. Matter of settings and details of processing. And how much the producer avoids adding problems like excessive level-compression or eq. But I do wish more net radio stations would aspire to at least matching the BBC's use of 320 k aac for R3! Alas, too many seem to think that clumsy conversions to 12k mp3 are 'high quality'! :-/ Slainte, Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

I've heard one or two good recordings at 128k from Venice Classic radio via my Pioneer N-50/MDAC/Quad Elite/Quad ESL system. - Richard. |
