Hi, I'm considering the new Yamaha network CD player. It says it uses vTuner for Internet radio. (so if whatever that you have uses vTuner please chime in) Problem is, when I go to the vTuner website and browse through the stations there, they are all in awful quality, 128kbps MP3, usually lower. I used the links provided and opened them up in iTunes. I opened BBC Radio 3 and there was a piano piece playing. I nearly went into a coma.
But I know that internet radio can sound okay. When I listen to the same stations with the application Radium (not with the vTuner links of course, with the in-application search engine) they sound much much better.
So I'm a bit confused here. Do the devices using vTuner use those same exact links with the exact same crappy quality? Or do HiFi companies like Yamaha use a vTuner service of their own with different internet radio addresses? That would make a lot of sense but I want to know if that is right. (I google'd and didn't find an answer)
So c'mon, help me.
