Who Gives a Flying F..k. Funny. I tuned in. I got a 64k WMA stream with 3 minutes of commercials before any music. Nice. To be counted for the ratings you have to 100% duplicate your FM. At least I can get caught up in the STD commercials!

Since when was 64K WMA high quality?<P ID="signature">______________

64 Kbps is usually the starting point of high quality streams. The highest points tend to be 256 Kbps, or even higher are the 128 K MP4 streams using AAC.

Problem is, WMA's are, at least in my experience, inherently low-quality. I've never encountered a single WMA stream that didn't drop out on a regular basis, drop quality on a regular basis, or just plain sounded crappy no matter what bitrate it was streaming at. MP3 streams, on the other hand, have always simply rebuffered (quickly, I should add) and moved on.
