FLAC- the streaming way of the future.


Recommended Posts

I am thinking of trying something COMPLETELY crazy.

But I think it would be cool if it worked.

 

Got to talk to the auto DJ provider, but I found a few websites that sell music files in 96khz/24 bit sample rate.

The only problem? Because of the high quality, the only way to stream this at a decent compression without crazy buffering would be to stream at a higher bitrate with FLAC streaming.

 

Shoutcast Im pretty sure doesn't support this form of lossless audio, but Icecast does.

 

I know downloading enough songs with this quality to run a radio station might be costly, but could you imagine a station that supports DVD-audio quality? I think it would be pretty cool.

Well have you heard the quality of AAC+? Even at lower bitrates the sound quality is still there. I've heard 56k/44.1 AAC+ transmittions that sound as good at 80k/44.1k stereo MP3Pro. As codecs evolve into better less lossy formats the servers will have to change to compensate. We'll just have to see how it all works out.

Im pretty confident that 96khz/24 bit is going to fly.

 

This station will not be a station with high listener counts, just the highest quality pure sounds you can imagine. For all those people that bought a High end Audio system and wants to really hear performance.

 

I want to break some records for the best sounding station on the net. Consider it the flying dutchman of streaming. Unmatched in pure streaming quality.
