Re: FM vs MP3

Here is my opinion Tony. I recently captured 2 BBC 6 broadcasts. "The John Bonham Story" and "The Joy Of Six" interviews with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page about Bonzo and your spectral 1 looks like it exactly when not zoomed in. As far as spectral 2 it looks like mine exactly when zoomed in on 2 seconds area. Yours does not appear to be a satellite transmission but a capture of a BBC broadcast over the internet. To support my theory this is not a satellite broadcast I enclose a spectral snapshot of 2010.06.06 Them Crooked Vultures - Nürburg, Germany which was a satellite transmission and 3hrsoflunacy was gracious enough to extract the audio. The audio on the broadcast was MPEG-1 @ 192 kbps. I also provided a snapshot of my BBC 6 broadcast which to my eyes looks lossless. imo if it was lossy you would have blocks on top around 16K and/or the area above 16K would be mostly white. If i'm wrong it won't be the first time, but this is my opinion with pics to back up that opinion.
