BGR 108
 ----------------BLUEGRASSRADIO 108----------------
YES WE ARE DIFFERENT!
because of we try to offer the best audio quality possible

almost all of the music we air is ripped from original CDs
using a special accurate linux ripper utility "cdparanoia"
then saved in lossless uncompressed 1411200 kbps WAV files
yes all you can hear here is always playing from WAV files
passing through only a single audiocodec needed for stream
for what we use the best in line OGG-VORBIS codec with VBR
offering better quality at less bandwidth than any MP3,WMA
