Wow, with that bit rate my ears would be bleeding.

It sounds good like that. I pick the low bitrate service cause the music's older than dirt, and it saves bandwidth. My favorite device to listen on is my netbook. The small speakers sound like an old cheap tube radio :^)

I have a few songs ripped off of LP and only slightly lesser than as anything else, it starts to lose a lot of the mid-upper frequency bands under 196kbps. There isn't much quality to begin with, so why degrade it any more, lol?

I'm not sure I can agree with that, but to each their own. /shrug

Yea, I agree. There's some decent stations here and there, but for the most part radio is boring. The best stations are public. Good commercial stations seem to sell out when they get popular. I don't understand the thinking. "We're doing pretty well with our format, so I think we should analyze what makes us popular, and regiment the format to get more listeners". They completely don't get why they had the popularity they had. They may not have had the /largest/ fan base, but their fans were /dedicated/. They change shit around, and lose it all :^/

Thank god for internet radio, and forums like this. You can find new music here to listen to, and listen to it on the internet.
