The "Hi" stream is converted back to 128k MP3. I am testing it out to see if there will be a big difference in listenership. _________________ "It's all Venger's fault! We oughtta do something about that guy. " -Eric

Seems to be working. The listener count has more than doubled today, so far. _________________ "I play music on here I like or can at least tolerate. This is actually jeric.fm (but where's the marketability in that?). "

Of course it doubles our cost in bandwidth but maybe we'll get more than twice as many donations. We'll see. Thanks for your support! _________________ "It's all Venger's fault! We oughtta do something about that guy. " -Eric

Maybe you should change the text on the home page then, there's still something about mp3pro, which isn't required anymore if I understood you correctly...
Btw, listeners number went up like 200%
Cheers

Yeah 128kbps Stream is more to my liking than MP3Pro (which also is very good), sounds better.
Hmm I'd like to do a donation but don't have paypal and I live in germany. Any ideas ? _________________ o

Send the money to me and I'll do the donation for you *G* No really, if there's no other idea, I'd do that.
Apart from that: Use ogg. Really. Sounds as good as mp3, but has only 1/2 the bandwidth.
Cheers

It's because the bandwith. The "limit" has almost been reached and it is very expensive to go above the limit (at least this is what I know from german providers). Maybe we will have 128 kbps again the next month... maybe not :-/ _________________ o

If you have problems with mp3, you should try the ogg-Stream. It should work in any reasonable player, and the quality of the 64k-Ogg is as good as the one of 128k-mp3.

Hi all
I'm listening the hi-ogg-playlist but I obtain a delay of 3 minutes with respect to the song that leaves in the web. |

Yeah, it has always been this way, the ogg-stream is delayed... Jeric, something you can do about that? But I don't think it's a real problem...

There's nothing I can do about the delay. 64k mp3PRO also sounds just as good as the 128k. _________________ "It's all Venger's fault! We oughtta do something about that guy. " -Eric

We went back to 64k mp3PRO because we were reaching our bandwidth limit. And I also wonder how many of those 128k listeners were just stream ripping. _________________ "It's all Venger's fault! We oughtta do something about that guy. " -Eric
