Hello pno74 and welcome to the forum !!

It is certainly possible to have a higher bitrate stream but it's purely a question of cost. A stream higher than the current 96 kbps broadband stream would be far more expensive to run.

As more and more people start to tune-in, the stream is constantly hitting full capacity and I am going to increase the bandwidth again very soon. It will still be at 96 kbps but more people will be able to tune-in at any one time.

As far as I am aware, no other Progressive Rock Internet Radio broadcasts at such a high bitrate for free.

It would be great to have an even faster stream, but like I say - it's purely a question of cost.

Regards and I'm glad you are enjoying the music !!

The stream bitrate is still the same (96 Kbps @ 44.100 kHz in stereo) but the extra bandwidth means that the stream can now support more simultaneous listeners ... Cool
