I am after a copy of a Peel Session from one of my favourite bands, The Nubiles. It was originally broadcast on 15/12/95 - but was then repeated on 08/03/96. I can trade or pay for this, if anybody has a reasonable quality recording on either CD or ideally MP3. Let me know!!! Cheers. From kimble990@... Tue Jul 6 13:20:25 2004 From: kimble990@...

Judge Alan Taylor was told Benjamin Barber had been interviewed about his criminal past by former Radio One DJ John Peel on his programme Home Truths. William Rickarby, defending, said: "I have listened to the interview with John Peel and it is quite clear from what he says in the interview his attitude has changed. He does not want to be involved in crime." He said Mr Peel had sent him records to help him in his ambition to become a DJ himself. Mr Rickarby said Barber, who has also appeared on a BBC documentary called Crime and Punishment, had turned his life around and was starting two courses, one relating to television and the other concerning radio presentation. He said the main reason Barber's life had altered was his girlfriend, who was supporting him. If he was sent to prison it would destroy any progress he had made, he added. As far as the offences he was involved in, he said, he had acted under pressure from others and his principle role had been as a lookout. Barber (23) of Didgley Grove, Kingshurst, Birmingham, had previously pleaded guilty to charges of going equipped for burglary and attempted burglary. Judge Taylor deferred sentence at Birmingham Crown Court for six months, saying he would normally have given Barber an immediate 18-month sentence if it had not been for the fact there was evidence he was attempting to change his ways.

The BBC Radio on Demand website says: Unlike other forms of broadcasting, the cost of streaming has a per capita cost which is not diminished in proportion to the size of the audience. Ironically, due to the growing success of our streaming services, including audio-on-demand from the online Radio Player, the BBC was faced with rapidly rising distribution costs. With a finite budget, the choice was to reduce bandwidth of the live stream or cap the number of simultaneous users. By far the least disruptive option to most users was to reduce bandwidth - in this case by reducing the maximum bit rate - of the live stream. This results in a slight reduction in sound quality, noticeable to users with fast connections. Has anyone else noticed this drop in quality, and does anyone know what the actually quality is - no where can I find any indication of the sampling rate. This question becomes less academic when Peel moves to the God-forsaken late night slot and I use this facility rather than stay up till the early hours. From martinw@...

This question becomes less academic when Peel moves to the >God-forsaken late night slot and I use this facility rather than stay up >till the early hours. > Looking at the BBC player it is clear that the bitrate varies from minute to minute - presumably dependant on the demand on the overall system The way to maximize the bitrate is to download the actual Real Audio file and then play it on your own Real player. There are several progs you can use to do this. My favourite is Net Transport from http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm which you can use for free The BBC file names to enter into it are rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/peel_tue.ra rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/peel_wed.ra rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/peel_thu.ra You may not feel it is worth the bother.

I can consistently achieve that bit rate until most recently. Yes, the quality has dropped recently. I wonder if that also has to do with the number of big sports events going on (such as Euro 2004 and the forthcoming Olympics) as I noticed in the past that quality from the BBC live streams dropped significantly in period of big international events. > > The way to maximize the bitrate is to download the actual Real Audio > file and then play it on your own Real player. > There are several progs you can use to do this.

Oh and a little pirate FM transmitter. So we had BBC FM right on the Gulf coast all day, very enjoyable. Martin had recommended Radcliffe and I'd not listened to his solo shows, and yes they were great, all of them. Only a few clunker songs, only a few forays into the laddie humor idiocy I had expected. The "3 Songs 1 Theme" bit is always clever. Would Radcliffe sound as great stuck in traffic on the M4 as they did with my toes on the surf on a pristine beach...?
