Simon My experience with podcasts is that they are edited down from the main programme and always of a lower quality than the original.
Now, on the 320kbit/s vs 128kbit/s, whilst there is a difference, I do not find the difference as stark as with the "Concert Sound" lossless stream which was running during the Proms. THAT brought a new dimension to my listening! Wish that was available again... -----Original Message----- From: get_iplayer [mailto:get_iplayer-boun...@lists.infradead.org] On Behalf Of Simon Morgan Sent: 24 October 2017 08:33 To: get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org Subject: BBC Radio 3 podcast quality On BBC Radio 3 last week, the Composer of the Week was Puccini. Donald MacCleod interviewed Antonio Pappano in between the various clips. All these interviews are available as a Podcast which I have downloaded. The audio quality is 128 kb/s while the original broadcast is 320 kb/s. The quality difference is not critical in my opinion as it is mostly speech but I would be interested to know if podcasts can be downloaded at a higher quality. I think that there has been an answer to a similar query in the past but I can't locate it. Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
