Lossy? Strange line/peak at 19Khz

Hey,
I was just checking some shows for a trade before I copy them and I checked one show that contains a strange phenomena.

The frequency analysis shows a random, strong peak at 19KHZ
The spectral view shows a strong line at that same frequency.

I've seen this before but can someone tell me what this weird line indicates? Where does it come from?

Im assuming it's mp3 or lossy of some description.

thanks

-Dylz

I believe that is from an FM source. Someone else will come confirm or tell me I am sooo wrong!

Positively, US FM Analog Radio (not IBOC). The stereo pilot is at 19.0kHz.

I'd have to agree, I think mdlp is the only (common) codec that shoots such holes into the spectrum.

(omg Cat Empire? saw these guys in concert last month, they rocked my socks off)
