Technical Information
|
Audio files are encoded to the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) compression standard (ISO/IEC 11172-3:1993) and are about 40MB
in length. They are not suitable for streaming over a dial-up connection. We use a bit rate of 64kbit/s and a sampling
rate of 32kHz. An ID3 version 1 tag is written to all except the first few programmes. All programmes are monaural.
Prior to June 2012, because our primary means of distribution was cassette tape and we used cassette-to-cassette duplication, our programmes were recorded in analogue onto the master tape and subsequently transcribed to digital format. From June 2012 all programmes have been recorded digitally in stereo with one track per news story or magazine item. The tracks are encoded to MP3 at 128kbps, 44.1kHz but do not have ID3 tags. A playlist (M3U) file is provided on the web site for each edition. The programmes are distributed to most listeners on USB flash drives. |
