Radio stations tend to use 192kbps MP3... Encoded properly with an encoder
using extended precision math and an exhaustive encoding search provide
a very, very low distortion level and far enough up the freq. that only dogs
should
notice ;)
I should think it's possible to develop an MP3 encoding schene that allows
setting
of target frequency ranges as important over others which with tweaking for
music style might improve output without expensive bitrates...
