Attached is an interesting link that states: You can estimate the approximate Audio information [1] content of FM by using the bandwidth and dynamic range. FM pretty much tops out at about 15K and the dynamic range is about 70db. Each bit represents approx 6db so we need just under 12 bits and a sampling rate of 30K. Thus = 12 x 30,000 x 2 (2 channels) = 720Kbps (CD is 1411kbps) that is uncompressed http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f133/radio-bitrates-366117/ Seems to me that FM would need at least 128kbps with MP3 to achieve an equivalent. Why limit oneself streaming when a higher quality can be achieved (if not for bandwidth constraints) -- vw195 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vw195's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32644 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67502 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
