Hi there,

For those keen techno listeners there is a new PaulWay mix out : Supersonic 2 - similar in style to Supersonic 1 with lots of new and old tunes. You can pick it up as a BitTorrent in 160kbit and 80kbit.

I've also completed the Antipodean "Laidoutback" mix - now breaking the record as the longest mix at over four hours eleven minutes long. Again it's on BitTorrent in 128kbit format. All these are encoded in high quality variable bit rate using LAME 3.92 so you shouldn't hear any great loss of quality even on the 80kbit mix (which is really for memory stick MP3 players and suchlike where you don't have the infinite space of an empeg.)

The BitTorrent format seems to be working fine - and will be a lot better when I move to a symmetric 512/512 DSL connection - but I'd appreciate people who like the mixes and don't mind donating some bandwidth to the cause leaving them to seed. I can't match the download speed from Synergy's server alone, but together we can.... .

Do people find having the lower bitrate format as well as the high bitrate format useful?

Have fun,

Paul
