Sound quality is not the problem. PROGRAMMING is the problem. snip Another problem is multiple layering of compression and expansion codec schemes. Has anyone listened to a (usually) decent - quality AM plant that is transmitting supercompressed talk show audio at a bandwidth of 5 KHZ with a low, low, low bitrate? Something along the lines of 8 to 16 KHz bitrate? That fact alone puts the lie to the digital pushers' rants about "Audio quality." So sound quality is not the problem, but audio quality is a problem? Right. BTW, kilohertz is kHz, not KHz or KHZ. 'K' means 1024, 'k' means 1000, and cycles per second are always Hz. Also, bit rate is not measured in Hz, it's measured in bits per second, bps or bits/s or bit/s, so thousands of will be kbps, kbits/s or kbit/s. But I agree that low bit rates sound ****. -- Steve - www.digitalradiotech.co.uk - Digital Radio News & Info DAB sounds worse than FM, Freeview, digital satellite, cable and broadband internet radio |
