Technologies Used

By the Mercy of Allaah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala), we at salaficast.net, have implemented the latest in Internet streaming audio technologies coupled with a sophisticated radio automation system and a powerful, user oriented web site, to bring you the best Internet radio experience ever!

Our streams are compatible with most popular media players including Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Winamp, and any other MP3 compatible streaming audio player.

Limitations Of MP3

Listening to audio compressed with MP3 at 128 kbps sounds great. But if you go to lower bit rates the great sound starts lacking the high frequency components. At bit rates of 64 kbps and below the audio may begin to sound dull.

Enter mp3PRO

Coding Technologies have developed an enhancement technology that gives back the sound the high frequency components. The technology is called "Spectral Band Replication" (SBR). SBR is a very efficient method to generate the high frequency components of an audio signal.

Combining MP3 with the SBR enhancement technology generates an audio signal with high bandwidth at low bit rates. mp3PRO, the resulting audio format is composed out of two components, the MP3 part for the low frequencies and the SBR or "PRO" part for the high frequencies.

Hear The Difference

Listen to simulated audio files to hear the difference between plain old MP3 and mp3PRO...

What a plain old MP3 file sounds like:

Listen   (32 kbps)

What the same file sounds like if encoded with mp3PRO:

Listen   (Simulated 32 kbps with mp3PRO)

Winamp And The mp3PRO Plug-in

Not all MP3 players natively support mp3PRO technology. For the best quality sound, we recommend the use of Winamp, a FREE streaming media player, combined with the FREE mp3PRO plug-in for Winamp. The installation and configuration of these software packages are really straightforward. For download and installation instructions, visit our support pages.
