[QUOTE="william-1, post: 916348, member: 193781"] I have a Roberts Stream 83i wifi radio & do listen to BBC Essex in dab for James Whale in the mornings as the reception on FM is very poor in my neck of the woods, Some Internet radio is very good in 320kbps in WMA but the BBC has now ceased this transmission on BBC Radio-3 ([SIZE=4]Windows Media Audio Format) having now adopted HTTP Live Streaming and Advanced Audio Coding via the Internet, MP3 (or MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is a digital audio encoding format that compresses data by basically removing parts of the file in order to make it a smaller size. This allows for the file to require less space for storage on a computers hard-drive or personal MP3 players. It also allows for this kind of data to be transmitted across the internet with less bandwidth. When music is encoded into MP3 (from an audio CD for example) you are given an option as to how many kilobits (kb) the file may use per second of audio and the sample rate. The most common sample rate used is 44.1khz as this is also used for audio CD's. The bitrate options that you are given can be user specified from anything as low as 32kb upto as high as 320kb. An Mp3 file encoded at 320kb is considered to be as close to the original recording from the CD as possible in this format. But this format misses a lot of the audio content that was on the original Analogue recording that is achieved via LP or a Revox Reel to Reel tape player.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
