I look forward to new music being delivered in CW format (not "country
western")

Cool!
One MORE bit rate reduction scheme in the audio path to have dueling
algorithms with! At this rate, soon they'll be a new format: "all clicking,
all the time!"

In the never ending quest for dumbing artist product to the public,
many radio stations have been notified that new songs will no longer be
delivered by mail, but transmitted to them, "In CD Quaility".
To wit:
We have been notified that most of our songs will be coming to us from
DSNY/MPE. I sent them an email asking about audio quality:

concerned as to what happens to the artist's product when it is sent
through the MPE system.

> What type of compression algorithm is used? Here at Cornerstone
University Radio, all products are transfered digitally from the CD's at
44.1 sampling and a full 16 bit audio path.

The files are transmitted using Og Vorbis, but at an extremely high
bitrate (starting at 750 and scaling up as high as needed). The result
is effectively lossless compression (it is lossy, but the losses are out
of the range of hearing).

So the answer is soooo ambiguous, other than it is indeed a
compressed file. It's now official. Even the record labels don't care
about quality.
