Music grabbing techniques

Hey guys, just a quick question for you - I'm pretty up to date with the whole computer side of DJing etc, but there's this one thing that's bugging me...
How did they manage to encode that "Radio1 Essential Mix - John 00 Flemming" set onto 192Kbps with such good quality?
Now I know that Radio 1 do a constant encode to the internet using Real Audio, but they actually encode at 44.1Kbps which, in fairness, sounds crap. How was this set ripped at 192 which sounds so good - even loud?
Was it ripped at real time using something like audiograbber and using the line in of the soundcard? Surely radio quality is not that high?
Please enlighten me :) |

| are you sure that 44.1Kps isn't supposed to be 44.1 Khz (which is the industry standard resulution; CD-quality) |

Yes. There's a pretty big difference between 44KHz, and 44.1Kbps!!
Real Player states that the Radio 1 Stream that is broadcast over the internet (Even in it's G8 state) is encoded at 44.1Kbps.
Thus, I do not understand how such a high bitrate was achieved on this file. |

I guess they ripped it direct from radio?
You can't make something sound a lot better than the original....just a bit,putting stuff through finalizers and good EQ-ing, but nothing miraculous..... |
