I posted the following in another thread discussion regarding Internet Radio bitrates & audio quality: "...Doing a very quick search and quick count on ShoutCast.com shows the following "higher bit rate" MP3 stations: bitrate = # of stations 320k = 38 256k = 50 224k = 225 192k = 370 I use all three of the "big boys" in Internet Radio streaming (ShoutCast, Live365, vTuner) and most of their station offerings are duplicates (showing up in all three sources) so I'd bet the above bitrate = # of stations is pretty close on all three services. Hope this helps. :) ......" At that time I didn't bother searching and counting 128k streams, but I can assure you there are MANY. Now, the one draw back to using ShoutCast feeds is that many will not play if you save them to your FAVORITES list. :( -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42134 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
