If you want to hear quality you need to start with quality. Much of
the more 'pop-ish' music on R2 has a fairly high level of compression from which, realistically, there would be very little gain. On the other hand much of R3 is high original high quality or is live which will allow the lsitener to hear the difference. -- Woody harrogate3 at ntlworld dot com "Brian Gaff" wrote in message ... So they hide this away, and have no plans to give services. Interesting. I'd have thought that if they did live stuff on the Radio 2 network they would get more feedback, or is the idea to say nobody cares so we can carry on doing what we do in crap quality.

I'd not call Radio 3 320k aac "crap quality". And you've missed the point
that this is a *test*. It may develop if successful and people encourage them. Jim In article , Brian Gaff wrote: So they hide this away, and have no plans to give services. Interesting.

Well, it does not have to be that way. certainly back in 2000 r2 put out a
Bee Gees concert with wonderful dynamic range and quality on DAB. Some of the concerts recorded for radio 1 in the 70s and 80s were very good also, but when more recently they have rebroadcast some of them they are compressed to hell and back. I know this as I have high quality recordings from FM of the originals. As I say, they need to decide what they are aiming for. Its not just classical lovers who like good quality output. The standards at the bbc have fallen to a new low and now I suspect most listeners would be astounded just how realistic and good so called pop concerts can be.

Which is why I thought it was an April fool.
Also although flac is a compressed medium, its not a real time thing, its a bit like zip. this is why very few players can play it like Ipods etc. I also know from experience that any attempt to send such files over a lossy compression won't work.

There probably will be various ways to do so. In fact, that's what I'm trying to sort out at tghe moment! :-) The snag for me is that I want to record what *arrives*. Not what may get though a browser and any OS 'mixers'. etc. Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.
