[peel] Re: 'The DK Box': 53 Shows from 2000

[David King]

Thanks, Eddie.

All these shows were recorded straight to hard disk and saved originally as wavs because - with my software then - this was the handiest and safest way to trim them.  Simply to hold on to them in best and accessible form (at the time), I encoded these wavs to MP3s at 320kbps, fearing that I'd lose quality at any lower bitrate.  Good point, though.

David.

  Wow, thanks very much for these, David and Gary! 2000 is a thin year
  in my collection so this bumper crop is most welcome.

  One question though: all the shows, whether recorded from FM and DAB,
  appear to be encoded at 320Kbps. I thought Radio 1 was only even
  broadcast at 192 on DAB...?

  Eddie.

  P.S. Blimey, Peel played "Who Let The Dogs Out?" on 15-08-2000.
  Apparently, JP thought it was "pretty darned good, but there were
  dissident voices in the house saying it was terrible".

  P.P.S. My first reply to this, by mail, got lost - the second time
  that's happened this week. So hopefully replying on the group page in
  the browser will work.
