Since I'm using a Microsoft Zune player, and not an iPod, I normally run the podcast file through an mp3 tagging program in order for it to be recognized by the Zune. And then I noticed that the Bitrate of SS Podcast 126 is 128 kBit/s, instead of the usual 48 kBit/s of the previous podcast episodes, no wonder it sounds much better. It's true that the file would be larger, but this is a good improvement. Thank you again Bill for the podcast. 73<br /><br />Dan RandomDan Randomhttp://bbqshirt.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-86802239890932612402010-10-23T09:17:11.751-04:002010-10-23T09:17:11.751-04:00I agree with Snort Rosin, bring back the live gong...I agree with Snort Rosin, bring back the live gong man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-17317111634711341642010-10-22T10:54:51.644-04:002010-10-22T10:54:51.644-04:00LINUX...Great Taste.....Less Filling!

There are other things that one collects which Society as a Whole (in upper case letters to add a sort of Lofty Aloofness) does not value, viz. Old brake drums, ball bearings, innumerable bits of aluminium and copper, bits of wire and of course, partially-dismembered AM and FM radio sets of yore. And two motors from old blenders which at some point will provide copper wire. These things I have in boxes. . .montones de chatarra..Having Said Thathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523671837698142629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-80432605231539933652010-10-19T05:22:21.570-04:002010-10-19T05:22:21.570-04:00Bill,
