Rinse FM are taking the piss!

[Be-1ne]

but you DO notice the difference between 64k and 128k

and no-ones' questioning Rinse' commitment to the scene are they?

But they consider themselves as the leading underground dance music station SO they obviously take the music seriously

Rinse are all about the music and having podcasts at 64k doesnt do the music justice, thats what I am saying

Perhaps its a ploy to get people to actually go out to clubs and buy music to hear it in its full quality.! perhaps

Have upload some sets of dubpolice and ntype on: http://ng76.de/dubstep/mixes/rinse/

yeah they keep the bitrate low so wankers dont rip tunes outta the sets, and so the files arent as big = less costs for their servers.

[dopelabs]

who remembers the days when if you wanted to listen back to somin from the radio you'd have to use a tape and record it?

yeah taking the piss with their free podcasts and propping up of several scenes over the years..


sorry, someone had to!

but 192k is more better =]

But your not really going to notice the difference are you. ?

between 64k and 192k?

maybe if your using a dollar store pair of gameboy headphones...

there is a huge difference between 128 and 192.. the difference is night and day.

I distinctly remember RINSE having issues with other people ripping and hosting all of their PIRATE FM shows and posting links on here. They made a very big deal out of it, wanted to do it themselves, perhaps charge(as if)...

anyway, now that they put a rather screeching halt to it, let us ask ourselves how on point the podcasts are... 64k bitrate which is absolute garbage, on which the DJs will play like 30 seconds of a tune to tease us, as if 64k anything sounds good.

I recommend that we all start ripping the shows again and posting the 64k initial stream as a 320mp3... 64k rip, encoded at 64k = like what... 8k bitrate? lol. Anyway, just a thought. There used to be no monopoly on this shit and it worked very well before somebody decided to fuck with it.

Edit: also wanted to note, as the bitrate drops, it is actually the high end that disappears, not the low end. The high end plays a role in what the low end sounds like in the audible range.

for once you aren't talking out your ass! =P

barefiles should still be hosting rinse shows. the end.

Agreed! What happened to deaps? If it wasn't for deapoh and rinse, it would've taken me a lot longer to find dubstep...


We've been crying about the bit rate since the dubplate forum days, don't think it's gonna change. At least rinse plays a variety of forward thinking music

I used to be a Rinse Fm Dj back in 2003-2004 and got thrown off for something i didn't do, so you would think that i would agree with you, when you say Rinse is shit!! Rinse Fm is by far the best radio station for not only dubstep, but NEW music!! Can't take that away from Geeneus and everyone invovled!! Big up Rinse, they deserve it!!

from someone who knows!!!

[brasco]

My latest Rinse podcast is from the 29th of last month, that's not too bad if you'd ask me.

[thebootyjuice]
