Second rule of Usenet: Just because he's a twerp, doesn't mean that

DAB sound _is_ terrible. (mine's a Psion flashing krell-pod)


BTW - I have Cloth Ears. Well known for it.

If I play Suzanne Vega on CD or MP3, I can't tell the difference (for
that's what chummy at the Fraunhofer tested it with). But if I play
some local Brissel folk music (drum and bass), I surely can tell them
apart.

Is any broadcast system based on MP3 basically doomed, whatever you do
to the bitrate ? If so, and if the BBC really are talking about
dumping analogue, then what happens to R3 ?
