I've been playin with it. Seems to work best with 128bit
streams, and hardly very well at all with streams below that.
So, I recorded about 700mb's of mp3's from 4 different 128 bit
stations. BadPuppy, Twang City, Kpig/Kfat, and an Oldies
station.
However, almost half of them return 1 or more 'bad frames'
when I run 'mp3_check *' on the dir they're in. Tho they still
play properly. Still the sound quality is poor compared to mp3's
I can d/l _much_much_ more quickly from binary newsgroups.
Also, I found it's not just Totem that drops streams. Xmms
does it too. I was wrong on that deal ;) Maybe it's just the
station droppin people if they're on too long ?
