Higher Quality…
So, it is really amazing how time flies. Have you noticed that the older we become, the quicker time flies!! We’ve been remodeling our kitchen, and I write this the countertop people are here drilling merrily away. Also, as some of you know I work professionally in TV so as we get closer to the U.S. Election my time is getting sucked up!!!
Last weekend I modifed our streams, and they sound better than they ever did. Previously our highest MP3 stream was 64k but for now, I changed that to 128k stereo MP3 which sounds a lot lot better. We still also offer the 24k mono stream for dial-up and office listeners. Offering higher quality than MP3 at lower bitrates we also offer a pure Windows Media stream and also a AAC+ stream that sounds fantastic as just 48k!
So, now we offer the following:
- 128k MP3 Stereo – Almost CD like
- 48k AAC+ Stereo – Almost CD like
- 64k Windows Media – Almost CD like
- 24k MP3 Mono – like AM(MW) radio.
The Windows Media stream will most likely need Window Media Player and the AAC+ stream will work just fine on Winamp (PC) and VLC (for MAC, PC and Linux).
Happy listening, Richard
