Hi Frank: I agree Steve did a good job crunching to MP3. The only reason to grab FLAC is that it is a lossless format (the L is for lossless, I think), and the FLAC frontend blows it back up to WAV, so you could burn a CD at full CD quality. Over earbuds on the iPod, I found the MP3 more than acceptable and the stereophony was very clear to me. I want to say again THANKS to Steve Abrams for making this audio available. The BBC has still not fixed the RealAudio stream on their website. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Strauss" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 8:54 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Blumlein uploaded as FLAC > Hi Tom-Just curious-I downloaded the program as mp3.
