I've noticed that recently the sampling frequency on Radio programmes
has changed in the last few months from 44.1kHz to 48kHz. I always
thought 48kHz was only used as the audio component of video files
whereas 44.1kHz was the standard for standalone audio.
Short answer:
Yes the files available did change a while ago.
Longer answer:
The background is more complex.
================<snip>====================
The endgame should be that we can now all get better quality 48k.
I would have thought that the difference in audio quality between 44k1
and 48k would be marginal, if at all discernible to the human ear.
But
negotiating the next few months of changes may be tricky. However at least
I've been able to draw some issues to attention, and that may help smooth
things.
That said I do hope that a new get-iplayer equivalent that can work via a
non-RTMP route will be possible.
Really appreciate the detailed response Jim, I certainly wasn't aware of
the complex history.
Thanks again
Alan
