You're basically re-encoding a crappy source into a larger product. I am absolutely not knocking the taper at LR, but this is where lineage is very important. If this was an FM recording, that would definitely be better than most any webstream source, but if you rerecord a webstream you go compressed digital source > analog > digital > compressed digital for encoded MP3s.

Well, I know enough to be dangerous....
128k MP3s would be the most suitable product for an analog uncompressed recording of a webstream in this case. Good size, portable, and higher overall bitrate than the source.

There's now also a flac file in the media thread at the LR that won't expire.
BTW - great job sourcing the Gov Ball set from XM/Sirius.

And, no, I didn't go to Reddit. That place scares me.

I noticed they had that at the Pittsburgh show as well. Pretty neat. My only question is, what happened to the 1970's?

Exactly! That was the decade of holding up a lighter! How could they leave that off?matthewvh wrote:My only question is, what happened to the 1970's?
