In this week's recording...
Kaki King (covering the Cure), +/-, Longwave, Jesu (covering the Cure), Guitar, Halou, Richard Pinhas & Merzbow, Aiden Baker, Stafrænn Hákon, Adrian Klumpes, Rafael Anton Irisarri, Fennesz/Brandlmayer/Dafeldecker, Klimek, Machinefabriek & Soccer Committee, Woven Hand, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Yo La Tengo, Sumner McKane, The Twilight Sad, The Standard, Au, Immanu El, and Helios.
The show recording is in .ogg vorbis format recorded directly from the cjsw stream. I prefer vorbis files to mp3’s due to their better fidelity at similar bit rates (ie. an .ogg vorbis file sounds better than an mp3 file of a similar bitrate) and the fact that vorbis is open source (ie. non-proprietary). Most computer audio software programs can play .ogg files but I realize that not all hardware music players (such as the iPod) can play .ogg files. If you want to convert the show recording to an mp3 or AAC file so that you can load it on to your iPod I recommend dBpoweramp Music Converter (dMC) for PC users.
There is always some quality degradation with conversion between compression formats but as the cjsw .ogg stream is at a higher bitrate than the .mp3 stream converting the .ogg recording to an mp3 of similar bitrate shouldn’t sound any worse than a recording of the mp3 stream.
