I'd like to listen to these shows, but the sound quality is abysmal. There's something up with the encoding or possibly the source because a 48kbit mp3 shouldn't sound that bad. Is the original stream 24k or someting? It sounds like it could be coming from a lower quality stream.

For me the shows sound allright. I just download and save on my computer and then listen to them. They don't sound any different then the shows I download off The Succubus Club. It might be your system.

My system is fine :) The Succubus Club actually is a bit better, but not by much.

It's possible I'm too picky for my own good.

All shows are recorded at 44khz/128K and crunched to stream at 48 or 32k. Most voice is tolerable at 11kHz, even 8. They used to be full-blown MP3 quality, but November 2002 made the servers explode under bandwidth issues, which are creeping back into the picture. Most shows are around 20 MB as it is.

I actually hear lower audio quality coming from the Succubus Club. Not sure. The internets is a wacky thing.

Succubus on mp3 doesn't play on my car mp3 player, Showtalkers does. I have no idea what that means, apart from I can listen to Showtalkers on my way to work.

As for sound quality, I find that if I turn up the volume to hear Josh and Eric ok, EJ's voice (at times) can pierce ear-drums and shatter windows. My only complaint :)

Yeah, that may just be her voice, not the MP3. ;)
