How much difference

Xfreq · 6th June 2003, 06:36

My radio runs at 80kbps bitrate mono and wondered how much better would it sound at stereo?

how do u define better

cos in one way the sound will get worse and in another way it will become better

basically whith sterio, it has to send 2 channels, which means each channel is streaming at about 40k a sec

so an 80k sterio stream will sound like a 40k mono stream (about) BUT, will have the sterio sound that most people love

Will it use more resources server wise? Because my host says that i can use stereo but if it starts using too many resources they will get mad.
