Re:Quality first
nope.,, its actually not MP3
try MP2, so not only is the bitrate terrible, its not even MP3, hence why the sound is so bad.
I would have loved a proper Digital Radio to have taken off in the UK, but sadly we jumped too soon & went on tech/codecs too old, & then to top it all as others have said, commercial companies then decided it was quantity over quality (now we have never seen that before have we) :)
FM is way better tech in the UK for listening to radio over airwaves., period. . .
Its obvious which tech needs to be abandoned, but I suspect the problem is, if its the travesty that is DAB, lots of people will be out of pocket & some peoples heads will roll.
This is nothing to do with the listener or what's best for Joe Public, & all to do with people saving face & others not losing money.
