iPlayer Radio: Under The Hood
| 13:53 UK time, Friday, 27 June 2008
People have been asking about the bitrates and codecs that we're using on national radio within the new iPlayer beta.
The quick answer is "they're different per station, they're different whether live or on-demand, and they'll change at least another two times this year". If that satisfies you, you have no requirement to read on. If you want more information, however, I'm happy to help. Note that I'm only talking about national radio, and only for listeners in the UK.
