Jazz FM broadcast quality
Thu, Jan 3 2013, 11:33PM
Has anyone noticed how bad the sound quality is on Jazz FM both on DAB and Sky 0129 ? I contacted them and got an apathetic reply - they couldn't be bothered.... I see DAB is down to 60 kbps and in Mono , is this anything to do with the problem ? Most stations are using 128kbps and in stereo
How much lower can the bitrate get before it beomes unlistenable ? Maybe the station is being run down , they've lost several good producers and brought in unknowns

128kbps AAC here on 'TuneIn Radio Pro'.
I'm not a fan but just thought I'd check.
Suggest you play it from the internet or wirelessly via your smartphone or tablet.
