Internet Audio
I recently had a need to connect computer audio to a good TV studio
audio system. To my surprise, some of the internet audio is of very good quality! |

Of course that depends entirely on what is meant by "internet audio". The same "internet" will handle the very highest quality audio along with the very lowest and anything in-between. That is like saying that one went to a restaurant last week and had a great meal. It means almost nothing as an unqualified statement. |

Mostly for content, but the quality is high enough so I'm not distracted from the content.

I grew up listening to records and FM. I think I acquired the "filter" I grew up listening to AM radio. Think of what kind of "filter" I might have acquired. g Variety is the spice of life. Mike, have you tried AAC? It almost answers my objections. AAC the "lossless" encoder? Not consciously. I don't download encoded music and I don't encode my own music, so I only listen to whatever gets netcast. Usually it's MP3 or Windows Media. I don't really listen critically enough to notice any difference. At the moment I'm listening to a show where nearly all the records played are pre-1945, so how good can it get, fidelity-wise. But I like the music and that's what counts. -- If you e-mail me and it bounces, use your secret decoder ring and reach me he double-m-eleven-double-zero at yahoo -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) |

The one thing that does bug me is the swishing, or flanging distortion that some lower bit mp3's give. That drives me nuts much more than the loss of frequency response. I find that very annoying, too. I used to get it when I was limited to dialup speed and it's one of the reasons why I got DSL as soon as it was offered at a decent price here. But even if I'm offered a choice of a higher quality stream if I were to get a faster connection (I'm on the lowest DSL speed) I doubt that it would enhance my listening experience. I simply don't concentrate on the music from streaming on-line sources that much. It distracts me from what I'm really doing. -- If you e-mail me and it bounces, use your secret decoder ring and reach me he double-m-eleven-double-zero at yahoo -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) |

Now that you mention it, I'd like to bring up something that's been bothering me for months (and yes, I know, I should send a letter to this local NPR affiliate about it, along with a check for financial support). It's the streaming audio (from the "Listen Now" button, middle-right column) at http://wabe.org - I started listening to All Things Considered and Marketplace regularly through that connection earlier this year, despite the slight swishiness, and especially the odd effects the encoding has on sibilants. But that's not my real problem - I've gotten used to these effects enough over the months that I haven't even thought of it until this thread. What REALLY gets me is how the program material sometimes jumps up or down 10 or 15dB, usually when switching between local and network sources. How do they do that, and still get a fully modulated, no-distortion signal on the air? Do they even send the same signal to both? I imagine the signal to the transmitter goes through a compresser/leveler that stomps the level down to what it's 'supposed' to be. I would have thought the streaming feed would have been taken after the compressor, but I guess not. Maybe the compressor is at the transmitter where it would be inconvenient to patch into. They could get a compressor for the streaming feed, but that takes money they may not have. I suppose I could send them a check for it. |
