The Jane Austen BBC Radio Drama Collection
This is a wonderful collection, but for my taste has been ruined by some deranged person cutting the bitrate down to 64K. I cannot fathom why someone would do this. If it is for the sake of space all I see is more crappy audio. I will get off my soapbox with a plea for upgrades from some kind soul to rescue my tympanic membranes from the beating of 64K and post some upgrades.

Thank you, Rick!!
You are all welcome. I almost didn't post them due to the low bit rates. I had never seen most of them at all, much less dramas, so I posted them. It just goes to show you that this is a multi-faceted hobby and one mans trash truly is another man's treasure. May you all enjoy them. ----------------------------------------------- R
This is one of those cases Rick where the bit rates don't tell the whole story - the sound is good to excellent throughout, regardless of the low BRs
Thank you, Rick! These are great stories!! :)
Thank you Rick:) I've been looking for these as dramas for some time:)
