Hi there, I am VERY excited to see we can finally get a streaming music solution similar to Rhapsody in Canada (come on Rhapsody, poor).
I fired up Napster tonight....and was greeted with muted sounded boomy music. I've googled around and poked on Napster's site but I can't find where they say what bitrate they stream at. All I can find is this...which sort of makes sense from how horrible the streaming sounds: Music - Napster offers a collection of over 4 million songs to download. They are formatted as Windows Media Audio (WMA) files. This adds compression and higher sound quality at lower bit rates compared to MP3 files. Napster music downloads consist of 192 kbps bit rate while the streaming rate is 32 kbps. Just my luck...we finally get streaming in Canada, and it is quite possibly unusable...I find 32kbps unconfortable for voice never mind music :( Anyone have any more information on this? -- BrockStone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BrockStone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16497 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61578 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
