JNBC Introduces the Internet's Highest Quality MP3 Broadcasts
Ottawa Nov 10, 1999: JNBC, an Ottawa- based Internet broadcaster has recently announced that its site will broadcast the Internet's highest quality MP3s. Currently, Internet broadcasters have chosen to stream low-quality recordings of music in order to keep download times short. JNBC is focusing on the Internet's broadband market instead users with corporate Internet connections, DSL or cable connections.
Broadband users now are able to access MP3 broadcasts of a much higher quality. JNBC is broadcasting between 148 and 196 Kb. This is CD quality sound which, to the average listener, will sound as good as their home stereo. This bold move puts JNBC at the forefront of the Internet broadcasting industry.
