Encoding from the 91x stream

Anytime you resample or re-encode lossy audio you lose fidelity. This means that when you record the 91x stream and then convert it to mp3 (even if you go from the stream to wav to mp3), you're losing fidelity -- a substaintial amount.

So, from a fidelity standpoint, it would be better to leave recordings from the 91x stream in wma.

I just found some free software to rip wma streams. It's cool.

My portable digial audio player, the RipDrive, also plays WMAs. I don't think I currently have a single WMA on it, but it does play them. :)

In other words, enough stuff seems to support WMA. It seems like a good idea. I'm going to play with this for a couple of days, I try to get WMA versions of the show up.
