WMA for 24k?

[Avian(Admin)]

We now have the option to replace either one (or both) streams with Windows Media format streams. For those who've never tried it, Windows Media sounds probably twice as good as mp3 streams. A 24k WMA stream sounds like a 40k mp3 stream, a 56k stream has the quality of around 110k mp3 stream. Mileage varies.

We're going to keep the 56k mp3 stream the way it is, just because it's the more popular format. But we have the opportunity to take the 24k stream to WMA, and really increasing the sound quality for modem users, and also broadcast in stereo for those folks.

What say ye?
