Hi Steve - yes, this does make sense, but if you take a look under settings in sound Taxi, they list the optional bit rates, saying that 32 is very low compression, and 220 is very high; unless JFW isn't reading it correctly? - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 6:52 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: SoundTaxi | Hi Andy, | | This is not quite correct.
