Re: How well do you hear audio quality?

Thanks for confirming that. It seems to be because I had enabled the settin=
g to open new tabs in the background. Oddly, changing the setting doesn't t=
ake effect until I close and reopen the browser. I've had that setting turn=
ed on for a couple of years, never had trouble with it before.=0D

Yes, I used Safari on my iPhone. I just tried it in my iPad as well (to mak=
e sure it wasn't an issue with mobile vs desktop versions of the site) and =
it worked there too. Have you changed any Safari settings as to Java or coo=
kies?=0D
=0D
I'd try rebooting and see if it works any differently.=0D

Charles, did you do the tests on your iPhone using Safari? When I try it, I=
 press on any of the Play symbols, and it just takes me to an "Ask me anoth=
er" page. Am I doing something wrong?=0D

There's been a lot of discussion lately about bit rates, and this topic jus=
t came up on NPR: http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2015/06/02/41147350=
8/how-well-can-you-hear-audio-quality=0D
=0D
What I personally found was that for the quieter pieces, I could relatively=
 easily tell the difference using only Apple earbuds into my iPhone (which =
has a worse DAC than the iPod). I can only imagine through a pair of nice h=
eadphones through a good DAC (and if my ears were 20 years younger!).=0D

I know that nature recording isn't the same as music, but if I can hear the=
 difference here I would think it's even more important with the dynamic ra=
nge and quiet that one encounters in nature recording.=0D
