Doggie Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 96kbps and 128kbps is, more or less, the same quality, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got3n Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 Not to me, i can tell the diff real easy, espeically with my sound system. Klipsh is real good so i like high bit rate music. if they were doing 192kbps then maybe i would pay but not 11.95.....thats too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddogMDD Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 boo. i mean i guess they had their reasons to going fee-service and dropping bitrates, but it is indeed a let down. there are other stations out there though, and 96 isnt that bad for background-music when you're doing HW or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonik Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Sucks. Oh well.... I just listen to the music I have on my computer and not from Digitally Imported. Go out and buy some trance cds, and you'll be A ok! :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno267 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Agreed... This sucks.... I did Love DI.fm..... I listen to DI all day at work and when I'm doin work at home too. WIth the 11.95 you can get 160 mp3 streams.... a bit over cd quality (but IMO, 160 is lowest I would ever burn to cd anyway - just sounds better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianicoleman Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 anything under 192 i dont like... i agree, bad move on their part :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakillernz Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Come on... I listen to their streams at 96kbps and it's fine. Sure, it's not the sort of bitrate you'd be wanting for making backups of music or whatever, but for streaming it's perfectly fine. Can you even imagine how much bandwidth DI are using? Multiple streams, thousands of users. It's gotta cost a HEAP. $11.95 a month for non-stop, high-quality streaming trance is well worth it I think.

Got3n Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 DI is based out of New Yor, sorry to burst that bubble, if ne one is interested in the 128K streams, email me and i ca send you the playlist links. gotenks@satx.rr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmakillernz Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Goten, from what i've heard, those links redirect to the 96kbps stream... Even if they don't, they will stop working very soon when they tie up all the loose ends anyway. That's just going by what i've heard in the DI IRC channel (irc.di.fm #diradio) so it could be wrong. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted September 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2003 Good god people! I mean, do you know the bandwidth needed to run a single shoutcast stream? Let's do some math... ~15000 people * 128kbps = 1.92 Gbit/sec! Good lord that kind of bandwidth is expensive. Even if that was all Cogent bandwidth, that's still about $20,000 per month to run. I think it's reasonable for them to drop the stream quality if it means financial stability... I certainly wouldn't want them to die ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got3n Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 Im sure the links will die soon but for now they work and thats all that matters, as long and i run stream save all day ill get my 8hrs of music from them. and then if they tie up those loose ends, maybe ill buy the 160kbps.
