Ed you mad bugger!?!?

Why such a high setting for mp3? 192kbps is the same as uncompressed
wave in terms of kbps - anything above like 320kbps is wasting space
on your drive my friend.. Not to mention radio is prone to
interference - moreso LPFM. It's a highly debatable subject in terms
of quality vs coverage.

My 'On Air' files are 192kbps/44.1/16bit - and the quality is good. I
have backups of every song as full wave, and these backups were made
and recorded to CD prior to mp3 conversion for airplay. That way, I
have a high quality backup standing by if my harddrive decides to
pack its bags. It hasnt happened yet, and according to my CPU
monitor, I dont have to worry until August 2008 before my machine
exits the computing world. Y'know - just.. yeah, anyway..

Im gonna put a compression test on the net, once thats up, I will put
a link up through the messageboard here, and conduct your own
experiments.

All the best mate - hope them transmitters aint giving you too much
hard timez..

If TLC Radio are lurking (and reading) - I'm curious about your
settings! Mono something I know.. but just what??
