BBC Sounds is new and trendy (to BBC eyes). Podcasts are the up and coming thing (only at least a decade late there chaps, never mind). Yeah right, what it really means is a BBC Manager had an idea (podcasts are good! no-one wants to stream any more!) and no-one told them not to be so stupid and to leave well alone. And we're stuck with this mess until there is another change of policy.
Just be grateful they don't seem (yet) to be planning to change all BBC content to 128kbps MP3 to suit podcasts. -- Owen Smith <owen.sm...@cantab.net> Cambridge, UK > On 6 Sep 2019, at 02:54, artisticforge Niemand <artisticfo...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > hello Owen; > > I fail to understand the logic of the BBC.
