Re: [LPFM] For the Whangarei people

I could say same thing about every station on the dial appart from concert.
 
I think most of them still use MP2 not MP3 encoding. Then of course more encoding for satellite links etc...  I hear the artifacts in anything less than 256Kbps, which is why I stopped using MPEG altogether a few years back. These days it makes no real sense using it appart from digital STL's and the Internet etc... as a streaming solution.

Not sure I can agree with you there. I am not aware of TRN or
Mediaworks ever using low bitrate mp3s in their on-air servers and
their processing, although sometimes aggressive, should not allow
overmodulation or distortion.
