A typical 128kbs radio stream will eat around 56MB per hour. So three hours a week is likely to be around 750MB month. Is your router's wi-fi secured? If not maybe someone else is leeching off it. -- rbz5416 rbz5416's

Yeah, I understand the overall limited downside, especially with how the internet in the US is right now, with wildly different speeds and accessibility, it is not in any way practical at the moment or the near future. It can take a couple of hours to download 96/24 files on a decent DSL, and

There is no question that sound quality corresponds to recording quality and attention to detail by the recording engineer and that many 44.1/16 CDs can sound amazing (think XRCD) and that far too many totally suck due to loudness wars and compression. Be that as it may, when you have an

Claiming that 16 bits provides 96 dB of dynamic range ignores the fact that the distortion rises as the number of bits decreases. For an analog system, it is OK to define the dynamic range as the ratio of the loudest signal that can be produced to the quietest (or the noise floor). But I have a
