i should have been asleep hours ago, but i've been doing this or that and before i knew it, it was 2am. i discovered this radio station some time ago, and its been a while since i've given it a listen. i'm glad to report it has only gotten better since turning into an internet only station.

right now i'm listening to the stream in aacPlus format. it sounds really good for only being 32kbps. at this speed you might even get decent results on dialup...

anywho, i downloaded the vlc player to try out this format. aside from not supporting the format, windows media player is acting flaky after an upgrade to the latest version (imagine that). i was very pleasantly surprised and will probably not go back to listening via streaming mp3 or streaming windows media.

i find it really cool that it always displays the name of the song is playing too. oh, and on the website they show the last few songs played. hmm, some of the last couple of songs are just eh. but they do have a section with some archived broadcasts that i would recommend giving a listen if you have a few hours to kill, and a connection to the internet. i for one will be killing time with the 97 best of 2007 show tomorrow.
