Thanks for all the suggestions. I wish Pandora would stream at 192 to my SB. i would pay the $36/year. I really like to "customized" stations like rhapsody and Pandora. Does anyone know if Slacker or any other of the customizable stations stream high than 128? -- Jeff G ---

Radio Paradise highly recommended. If you try it and don't like it, check back a few times as the mix is so eclectic that any given sample of an hour or two does not do the station justice. www.radioparadise.com -- garym

Rhapsody streams at 192K but charges a fee. Whether you can tell a difference depends on if you have golden ears. Radio Paridise streams at 192k and offers an eclectic mix. Do a Radiotime search on AVRO. It streams multiple genres at bitrates up to 320K. -- ghostrider --
