I was wondering why he was talking about MP2. He obviously knew enough technical issues about the sound quality enough to talk in those terms. For those who don't know, MP2 is used for DAB and the sound for DVB digital television (such as Freeview) and is a less efficient codec than MP3. But what is the relevance of MP2 when were getting a 32 kbps MP3 stream and are now getting a 48 kbps stream? Can someone explain what's going on here?
