change bitrate for pandora mp4

[radioryan]

I just got Media Catcher through Trialpay. The tunes it grabs off of Pandora come down at 64 KBPS. Is there a way to catch it as it streams at 128?

64 kbps = nearly unlistenable quality.


Thanks!

Media Catcher captures the actual stream - there is no difference in quality from the music you are hearing on the site. It is bit for bit the exact song.

Hello, Pandora does not stream at 128kb. These are 64kb AAC+ files.
The sound quality is quite good but you have to listen the tracks with Winamp or Vlc.
If you want to listen with Windows Media Player you have to download the free AAC+ plugin for WMP (named Orban or something like that).

Bye.

Pandora is streaming at 128kb right now!

False! Pandora streams at 64Kb AAC+ for free users and 192kb MP3 for subscribers of "Pandora One".
But catch a same song at those two bitrates and you'll see the quality of the AAC+ format.
