The better quality the input, the better quality the output. Even if you stream 16kbps I'd recommend at least 128kbps ... and 320kbps if you had a huge harddrive (which most people do these days).

Is there a benefit at all to ripping at a higher bitrate than what you are broadcasting at? All I am trying to do is get the best sound for what I can affort and my equipment. I am just having a constant problem with the NEW stuff. Does anyone know what exactly the difference is between a (Radio Edit) and (Album Version)? My old ears can't tell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Rudd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 6:05 AM Subject: RE: [General-discussion] Bitrates >I personally prefer to go for the 196 level even though I am only > broadcasting at 96Kbs. > > The better the quality of your MP3's will only have bearing on the amount > of > hard drive spaces it consumes.
