The Mu-so Qb is pricey, but its impeccably built, offers a number of wired and wireless playback options, and is one of the best-sounding compact wireless speaker systems Ive heard.
I was trolling for high-bit-rate INTERNET RADIO STATIONS when I stumbled upon Incubus performing Love Hurts on Alternative Times Radio out of Prague. Id never heard the song before but was immediately captivated by the richness of Brandon Boyds voice and how realistic the kick drum and snare sounded. And the stream was only 128 kilobits per second

iHeartRadio officially files for bankruptcy
iHeartMedia, the largest US radio company and parent company of free broadcast and INTERNET RADIO platform iHeartRadio, has officially filed for bankruptcy.As part of an in-principle agreement with creditors, the radio giant is restructuring its overwhelming debt load, which has totaled to $20 billion ($US) in addition to decreasing revenue at its more than 850 radio stations nationwide. The agreement would help reduce the company’s debt by more than half via a balance sheet restructuring. In late February, American mass media company Liberty Media proposed a deal to buy a 40 percent stake in a restructured iHeartMedia for $1.16 billion ($US). The deal would unite iHeartMedia with US satellite radio giant Sirius XM, which is owned by Liberty Media.In the meantime, iHeartMedia continues to operate, with its popular iHeartRadio streaming radio app, which counts 270 million monthly listeners, still running along with its local radio stations. The company also held its 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles this month, with plans to continue its iHeartCountry Festival in Texas in May. iHeartMedia joins a long list of media companies facing declining advertising revenue as competition with MUSIC streaming services like Spotify and Pandora continues to grow. Spotify recently announced plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange — with a value as high as $23 billion ($US) — while Resonate, a Berlin-based, community-owned streaming service, has raised $1 million ($US) in investments.
