Hmmm..I've used the Fraunhoffer codec too, and although it was better than most other @128kbps, it still wasn't good enough for my standards. I found that the high tones were not encoded correctly, and the music was too "shrill". Then again, that could just be me, but I know I'm very picky when it comes to audio quality.

Nobody has replied to my other question, and if nodbody does I may just enter a sparate post for it : has anybody ever used the Clubpie service? (www.clubpie.com). This is one of the last file sharing services I haven't tried yet and I'm curious to know if it's any good or not.

Thanks!
