worldspace???

[grubyhalo]

yes! you do not get all channels. i will get only 10 channels. out of that only 3 will be useful to me

Farishta: Old hindi
Falak: gazals
Gandharva: hindustani classical.
sometimes i may listen to Spin(english pop) and upcountry(the meaning of which i am yet to understand.)

i am venturing into this because i am trying to develop some taste of indian classical. i do like presentations of sanjeev abhyankar but i have experienced that i buy classical CDs for 300 or so and then dump them as i don't like the stuff much. i can't be that extravagant. so rs 25/ month is a cheaper option to try classical music.

i hope the airtel rpovides at lest Zankar(new hindi) and marathi chanal in future.

Thanks for your post. I guess a proper receiver would be the way to go for me.

Any update on the receiver with dig. out, anyone?

hi,

i started with my worldspace experience yesterday.
Overall quality: much better than FM but not as good as CD quality as they claim.

very few ads, that too only about world space.

I am extremely happy that the RJs are not over smart or overly bubbly.

some how i felt that the quality differs as per the channel. Sonar (bangla) was the best while english channels were poor.

i heard worldspace sometime back, but it seems that they are streaming the normal 128kbps mp3s

I am listening to worldspace last few years. Eventhough its a bit expensive, it really good.
And please dont compare with FM which is just noise and no music.

And listening to WS in Airtel is a good option if you are buying Airtel but its not an option with regular WS receiver. Regular receiver is highly portable, can take along with you and can listen wherever u get a <=12V supply, and a pair or ear/headphones and a open sky towards southeast to southwest.

And my favourites are
"The system", "Up Country", "Shruthi", "Amore", "Gandharv"

I also find it lot more convient than keep changing cd's as I sleep with my music on!

So in this pursuit I recenltly wrote to worldspace for a receiver with digital out, they said they would get in touch as soon as it is available.

They stopped production of it long back and company is declared bankrupt in US ...I do not think they have any fresh "production plans!"

Do not trust company start checking second hand market

What I am planning is that all my collections and downloads in flac ( I have some 40-50 Gigs of flac and started converting all my CD's -I'll put them on PC so that I can have acess to msic anytime ( and if I am sucessful in wi fi remote -ANYWHERE!)
