    Remember my rant about DAB radio quality?

    HEXUS.lifestyle - Opinion :: PURE Digital's Highway takes the digital out of digital radio... or does it? : Page - 1/1

    This week I discovered a radio station on DAB called 'Birdsong'. It's birds, making noise.

    It's not even relaxing.

    It uses 64kbps of bandwidth. That could be used to increase theJazz's bitrate, or indeed another station's bitrate, by 50%.

    What a waste!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
