We didn't allow this to go through, of course, but we post it here because there
is a question here that is interesting.  Those of us who listen to Internet
radio my find themselves gravitating toward a particular bitrate.  Do you prefer
listening to 128kbps streams (or higher), or do you prefer 64 or even 32?  In
some parts of the world we can imagine there being some difficulty receiving
high-bitrate stations without a hitch here and there--after all, some of these
streams are traveling very far, indeed.

Please let us know with your response!
