I have a feeling that there sometimes is more than bitrate missing here , many radio providers probably do other things to the sound compression eq ? the 64k can sometimes be mono .
My own experiments with for example 128k mp3 seems to sound better than any such radio stream , I use lame and the radio station may beside manipulating the sound be using the least cpu intensive codec settings to save , and thus may not do the best possible mp3 encoding for a given bitrate . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
