| How odd. There's no mention of what codec they're using or anything to explain what they're actually doing in technological terms. Is this more typical BBC PR puff? |

Did anyone hear the explanation of this on Drivetime ?
The soundman wasn't for saying it was better than FM sound 
with waffle about 46% of those surveyed said it sounded as good as CD
It turned out it's just 320kB with no or little compression, now what's HD about that ?  |

I guess 320Kbps without compression is better than 320kbps with compression! I wonder why they settled on the figure 320? |

| It will be broadcast in HD sound 320k AAC and non-optimodded/other generic multiband compressed on the electric proms - as said somewhere on the website. |

So it's not going out uncompressed then? AAC is an audio compression system (as used by Apple, among others). |
