I have some file from this backup (mostly spoken word), over weekend I will try to reencode at 22kHz, 56-64kbps stereo and give feedback.

In Czech national radio is use digital sattellite 192kbps upstream MP2 and daily backup is made at 112kbps MP2, stereo 48kHz. In case of reprise non-previously recorded programs, such as live events, they use this backup for transmission! I can't imagine how that would sound to try re-encoding for PC storage! Maybe the officials don't want us storing their transmissions. (Cheeky buggers...) Shawn -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )
