"...If you can't hear the difference then you must be listening to the
broadcast signal on an old rusty tin can..."

Well sort of, i've only listened on my PC so far :o) which leads me to
another question you may know - I've been trying to find out if the
recording is any good - i've posted the only info the file has, and it
implies it was sampled at 64 k.p.s (which is a bit crap - it should be
double that) - but can you tell me if this directly relates to .mp3 sampling
rates (as regards the quality) - if it is = to 64kps .mp3 then i'll live
with it - bearing in mind it only talking
