AlienBBC 2.5 only lists the RealAudio Radio 3 but AlienBBC 2.6 beta test has both WMA and RealAudio listings. However why use the AlienBBC listing when there is an SC entry. Both WMA and RealAudio have the same bitrate so the quality difference depends on the difference between the WMA and RealAudio codecs. The RealAudio stream can still be useful sometimes if the WMA stream is "busy" and won't connect. However using the WMA stream means no transcoding load on your PC. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66391 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
