[slim] Rhapsody Direct is now 192kb ???!!!

2008-07-29 Thread y360
Form the 7.1 change log: Updated Rhapsody Direct to higher quality 192k MP3. Is this really the case now ? If so it means Rhapsody has upgraded their library to 192, that's great news -- y360 y360's Profile:

Andy, That's fantastic news. As you have insight that most of us dont as to things happening at Rhapsody, is there a plan or even momentum to move toward lossless streaming? I am thrilled to get 192, but I'll always take more if its available. ;-) danniboi -- danniboi

Lossless, maybe in 5 years when everyone has fiber? :) I dunno, I don't really see streaming going past 256k any time soon. It's also a large task for Rhapsody to re-encode millions of tracks into a new format, not to mention the storage increase. Rhapsody has something like 10-15 formats

Surely they would have a lossless master library that they can re-generate the lossy streams from. Not doing that would be complete lunacy! -- funkstar funkstar's Profile:

It certainly would be nice, but 192 into a proper DAC from your squeezebox sounds pretty sweet. It will never equal analogue but progress is nice. Thanks Andy. -- danniboi danniboi's Profile:

I seem to be having an issue with Rhapsody and I wonder if it is this 192 update. Tonight I turned on my SB3 and hit squeezenetwork. I went to Rhapsody and it said I needed to press hold bright and update. So I did. I restarted and all was good. Later I switched to SqueezeCenter to listen to
