Recently I updated the bitrates and codecs for the German Nectarine relay to some more "modern" settings. ![]() Necta uses 192 kBit MP3 as master stream, and the relay now transcodes to AAC+ only, in bitrates 128, 80, 48 and 16 (coined "high", "medium", "low" and "ultra-low"). If you'd like a similar modernization of bitrates here, please let me know! With your 128 kBit MP3 master, maybe AAC+ in 64, 32, and 16 would be useful. |

I am really excited about any AAC stream that has more than 48 kbit and less than 128 (64 or 80 are both fine). That would replace 128 MP3 for me without sacrificing quality and still cut amount of transmitted data by ~50%.

Okidoki, sounds fair. ![]() Experience on Necta showed that 16 kBit is good for bad mobile connections, on the road and such, while 48 has good quality for acceptable mobile connections. So I'd use those two, and additionally 80 kBit which is about halfway between 48 and 128. In exchange, I'd drop the OGG streams then if that is okay. I don't think we need OGG anymore when AAC+ has the same quality at lower bitrates. |

Sounds OK to me, just post the links to each stream you wish to add, and I will update them in the streams page.

Okidoki, I'll reconfigure the streams later today and post the result and links here. ![]() |

The streams list has now been updated to reflect the changes in the streams. Thanks again, Locutus ![]() |
