I agree that 8Kbps is a bit "muddy" sounding. 16 Kbps is usually
better and considering the typically poor fidelity on the CB Band,
you really can't tell much of a difference. I use LAME codecs
exclusively to make MP3 files from WAV's and it seems to work ok for
my use.

Yeah, I use lame to make MP3's too. I think it's great.

The bottom line is bandwidth and I/O speed. Once you hit those limits,
there's no more to be had. Have you looked into the WMA format?
Supposedly it offers some streming advantages, although I haven't
tried them myself yet.

For the last few tests we have been using WME with WMA codecs. It works
really well. There are several advantages to it but a few disadvantages as
well. I'm going to post the instructions and see what others come up with.
