    i was thinking if an mp3 takes up a meg a miniute at 96kbs and i was downloading at 10KB that should mean that i should be able to listen to cd quality music straight off the net. but the quality i get off streamed media is crap how come??

    I've had 124 streams work fine for me, and there are a couple of 160 streams that I'd image would work well too...

    yep. just checked and 160 is streaming just fine for me. sounds grand too.

    - mac on eircom dsl trial.


    aah, itunes. nice one Apple.

    On a related note, I've heard that Ogg Vorbis sounds better than MP3 at lower rates. Does anyone know of any good streaming Ogg stations?

    I believe IceCast now supports it.

    Why stream mp3????, just d/l and play as much as U want.

    If U do want listen to streaming music there are loads of windows media and real player radio stations that can stream cd quality music at 64kbps. even through a modem these formats sound quite good...
