"I thought" are the key words there. Any implications were entirely in your thoughts, not at all in my post.
"Why don't you just listen direct on the internet?"
You added the Confusion icon which is what made your post ambiguous. I wasnt sure whether:
a) You were confused, which seemed strange as you are a MOD and its a simple question.
b) You were implying that I was confused which seemed inappropriate.
Life is a very subtle art and to get the most out of it we need to be very clear in how we communicate otherwise it can lead to confusion.
"Why don't you just listen direct on the internet?" was a request, or an invitation, to provide information. That information will be welcome, and helpful to other members, in due course.
My question "Why don't you just listen direct on the internet?" was a straightforward attempt to establish, for the information of other readers, the advantages of doing it one way rather than the other.
If you had been more precise in your initial communication and explicitly stated that I would have naturally felt moved to share why I choose not to use Web Radio:
A) I have mobile broadband; via a tethered phone.
B) I currently record ~50 hours of radio a week; very easy and quick to set-up with DVBViewer and a Freeview/Freesat tuner. I can set repeats example for the same show on 5 days a week in seconds.
C) Lower bit rates on Web broadcasts I think!
D) Recording Web broadcasts generally ties up the PC audio wise in some way; dependent on the software you use, I have Total Recorder.
E) I already have a TV license so no extra cost apart from the ~£40 cost of the two tuners (dual tuner Freeview & single tuner Satellite).
F) I can record stuff whilst away with no limitations regarding Listen Again; with Jazz FM its 7 days I think.
G) Files are automatically named including the date which is useful as I use the file names when creating tags for the MP3 versions; I transcode from MP2 using MPEG Streamclip.
Your question was in your mind and not actually communicated in your first post which is why it wasnt answered. I hope now there is no confusion.
