BTW, BBC is not a "low bitrate" stream. 20K for voice is plenty.
It sounds better than *any* shortwave radio, and is available 24/7,
static, hiss and drift free.

I have listen to it and it sounds like crap. I do not think I am alone
in thinking that listening to low bit rate audio is tiring on the ears.
You must like all your pictures in low resolution too.

I agree that 8k internet audio is poor quality but I find the 20k bbc
feed much easier on the ears than any shortwave program I hear. Also,
technology moves on; and there are lots of 100 k or better internet
sites now that are fm quality and the audio quality of all sites will
soon surpass that of any shortwave broadcst. For a look at the future,
visit the Internet 2 site.
