Re: 128k WMA problem solved on Wi-Fi radios

DAB sounds worse than FM schreef:

There's links for Chill, theJazz and Classic FM on here:

But the issue was only with playback on Wi-Fi Internet radios, because they reduced the bit rate for playback from 128k to 32k, but if you play them on a computer they're always 128k (apart from if there's some dynamic bandwidth reduction, but that's rare).

Right, thanks. I tried a few of them on my iMac and they played at the advertised rates. I told the system to use VLC player, not iTunes (for Guiseppe, www.videolan.org).
