I'm the one who runs the feedthehabit stream to the person who asked.
The only reason it was at 24kbps last few weeks was due to an encoding error in winamp. The stream for the radio always usually runs at 56kbps day and night. I do plan to set up a 32kbps stream at some point, but to be honest I'm not sure whether there's the demand since the quality of dial-up radio streams is terrible. The actual ASOT is only 40kbps and I find that pretty damn terrible. I end up recording it and re-sampling it to 192kbps to re-broadcast it later in the week and offer it as d/load.
There were big problems with the streams today cause everyone (basic beats included) relys on an id-t relay stream. If you can't get a good quality id-t stream then you can't serve the people that tune into your server, simple as that. Basicbeats also operate a system whereby they will overlay the existing track with a live stream from id-t,hence if the id-t stream buffers at their end it will switch back to whatever is playing underneath. Simple eh?
The only way of truely improving the stream quality is to take a direct feed from cable radio in the country it's broadcast, and unfortunately I'm UK based.
Thanks for supporting my stream all those who are tuned in. This is one of the main reasons I set it up in the first place, it's not cheap to do this without any adverts, server costs now run at around £500 a month, and in 5 days already I've exceeded my 10GB monthly transfer due to the mp3 downloads, and 24-7 radio broadcast.
Look out for a brand new style site soon (I'm beginning to hate flash with a passion).
Tks for the rolling tracklisting, I'm useless at id-ing tracks, I just know the colour/look of all the vinyls. Couldn't tell you what any of them were called, well only a few.

Well it may be different from his other shows, but I kinda like it (as far as I just heard). Looking forward to Tiësto though, he's on in about 25 minutes
