I have just written a letter to the London Times -let's see if it gets printed.
---- Czech Radio upstages BBC Our national humiliation is complete. BBC Radio Three used to lead the world in artistic and technical quality, but has been upstaged by Czech Radio. If you have the means to route a high quality audio output from your computer to your HiFi, tune in this Internet Radio Station http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac This world class. The BBC has only very recently made Radio 3 available at 128 Kilobits per second in compressed format that squeezes the life out of the music (WMA); but Czech Radio's Classical Music Station is transmitted at 7-800 Kilobits per second using the lossless free CODEC called FLAC. With a sampling rate of 48 KiloHerz this transmisiion betters a Compact Disc. The stream is also available at a slightly lower quality 224 Kilobits per second using the OGG compressed format - this still beats the BBC's best. See the Czech Radio website in English. http://www.rozhlas.cz/english/portal/ The BBC ought to be ashamed of itself. -- Labarum Brian Squeezebox 3 Classic and Virgin Cable Box Beresford DAC TC-7520SE (Caiman) - Quad 405-2 refurbished by 405man Quart 980s Speakers Boom in kitchen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Labarum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19963 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66393 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
