i think is would be 20 x 8 = 160 kbps

thats just a guess it seems a bit much for the quality of the sound. <_<

I am not a music guy an di could not tell the diffrence between screeching mp3&#39;s and 192&#39;s but I am quite happy with the free straming from musicmatch. I am sure that I am missing a big downside, but id serves me ok.

Nevermind after wiriting this i relised that the songs are edited. I guess most it wold be but i have never noticed it before that sucks.

MonkeyRadio 160Kbs (http://scastsrv2.shoutcast.com:8038/listen.pls) is good and i like this one too:
DJFefe&#39;s DUB LOUNGE 24hrs Dub Radio 24Kbs (http://65.34.98.208:8000/listen.pls)

EDIT:
And i also listen to old radio shows on The Shadow Zone (http://24.150.183.10:8000/listen.pls)

P.S. you can save streams to disk with StreamRipper (http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/sr32/)

I like to listen to some Synthpop once in a while, so I go to SlothRadio (http://www.slothradio.com/).

Tired of the same old 80s songs? Looking for more great synthpop music? SlothRadio is your answer. We play remixes and classics from the 80s as well as new music from the "lost" bands of the 80s like Alphaville, a-ha, Camouflage, Erasure, and more. Throw in the latest from independent synthpop bands like Iris, The Echoing Green, Droom, and Intuition, and you&#39;ve got a fantastic mix that will keep you moving all day long. Give it a listen.

You might want to give it a try, although it&#39;s not for everyone.
