A podcast will not replace your home music server

  

Many years ago, Microsoft offered the Zune, which was supposed to compete with the iPod, but it was a dead end because it was based on embedded systems. Fortunately, this project was withdrawn in 2012, because a PC with an open structure offers much greater possibilities. You can make the most of this thanks to the PC4uMusic configuration, which was created with the home music server in mind.

Offers of radio broadcasts with a podcast made it worth thinking about optimal playback of music broadcasts directly from the stream. However, there are many indications that free access to them is not a trend when it is supposed to be good quality. Therefore, it is more practical to save on your hard drive the program from a free broadcast and play it at any time to find out what was presented. The recordings in the program most likely come from music services, where they are available to everyone with better quality.

An example is the presentation made by a collector of world music records. He has been sharing his passion with listeners in Poland for 30 years. He recently conducted a broadcast from Casablanca and two previous broadcasts from his apartment in Lisbon, and earlier he did the same when he visited Cuba. It is highly unlikely that he gave his records to a technician in Warsaw beforehand. It is more realistic that he sent the technician a list of songs that he planned to present to the listeners. The technician only served listener recordings available from music streaming providers and there is no point in storing these songs in the archaic MP3 format that this program is broadcast with.

We can download songs for example from Deezer where there are recordings with better technical quality - also in the lossless FLAC format. This provider's offer has a clear message: Whether you're commuting or going abroad, you can enjoy your downloaded music anywhere without costing you data!

It's different with European Broadcasting Union transmissions that have unique quality, but it's also worth saving them on your hard drive. You can read more about this in the text entitled 48 kHz FLAC from Swedish Radio with unique EBU recordings

 It is also worth reading the text Automatic calibration in Windows also works when music is streamed

The Polish broadcast mentioned earlier was recently broadcast from Casablanca. The first song was an original recording for the cult film with Hamphert Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The last one was a more modern version and on this occasion it was confirmed that the recordings were from the Internet.

  1. Zune was a project with Japan's Tōshiba. Its diversified products and services include power, industrial and social infrastructure systems, elevators and escalators, electronic components, semiconductors, hard disk drives (HDD), printers, batteries, lighting, as well as IT solutions such as quantum cryptography which has been in development at Cambridge Research Laboratory, Toshiba Europe, located in the United Kingdom, now being commercialised. It was one of the biggest manufacturers of personal computers, consumer electronics, home appliances, and medical equipment. As a semiconductor company and the inventor of flash memory, Toshiba had been one of the top 10 in the chip industry until its flash memory unit was spun off as Toshiba Memory, later Kioxia, in the late 2010s.

  2. Very few films in the early 1940s had portions of the soundtrack released on 78 rpm records, and Casablanca was no exception. In 1997, almost 55 years after the film's premiere, Turner Entertainment in collaboration with Rhino Records issued the film's first original soundtrack album for release on compact disc, including original songs and music, spoken dialogue, and alternate takes.
