It is cheaper than satellites and cheaper than DRM. Radio Wantok Light is a fine example. People can hear this with a $5 chinese built portable radio. XM Radio is not in this part of the world yet.

Radio Aus. has a pretty good collection in their trial, too. Late Night Live and The Science Show among them. It's a great backup when the K index goes through the roof. But with 25 megabytes for a 55 minute show (LNL from Radio Aus.), it took about 2 1/2 times realtime to download it on my cheap dialup connection. But after you get it, it beat the heck out of realtime streaming RealAudio, with better sound and no dropouts and the ability to quickly fast forward and back. The most mindboggling thing was to burn the MP3 file to a CD-ROM and play Late Night Live on my TV set through a $30 Sungale DVD player. Mark Zenier Washington State resident |
