128kbps is just about the industry standard for this kind of service (although rhapsody is 192). Most internet radio and stuff like Last.FM all are too. But it will depend party on your kit, thats what the trial is for and at the end of the day, if you find album you really like a listen to a lot go buy the cd. But i find 128 perfectly listenable myself. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic -> Cambridge Audio Azur 640a -> Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver -> Trends TA10.1 Class-T -> Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze -> Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller -> Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3.1 (Vista 64) + AlienBBC, iPlayer & MusicIP headless.
