know what a Mac Envangelist
and Anti Gates person he is, so this is why we had
gone with the MP3 route.<

He is that bless him and a creative musician
enough to make full use of it as well. I've done
some tests with various people in the US to see if
they could pick up the broadcast on a Mac and
they've had no problem. I'd assume that given the
Mac's superiority with reading and saving cross
platform files that you would be able to create a
.wma stream.

The quality viz-a-viz an MP3 file streaming at the
same kbs is amazing given that its going to be a
fraction of the size as well. I'm no supporter of
Billy Boy Gates but he seems to have done his
homework on this one. I have friends in the States
streaming in MP3 at 28kbs mono and complaining the
quality of 28kbs stereo isn't there, all our
broadcasts are in 28kbs stereo and they work spot
on.

How do I know him? Just say Vaguely Sunny to him
and ask when the Dancer album is coming out?
