About KEXP's Uncompressed CD-Quality Stream

KEXP is the first radio station in the world to offer uncompressed audio on the internet.

You'll hear KEXP's broadcast in high-fidelity audio, with sound quality that is actually better than our FM signal. In fact, it's nearly CD quality.
  • Regular internet radio streams at around 60 kilobits per second

  • MP3's average about 160 kilobits per second

  • KEXP's uncompressed audio streams at 1400 kilobits (1.4 megabits) per second.
To access it, you'll need Windows Media Player, version 6.3 or higher. You'll also need a high-speed connection such as:
  • A full T1 connection

  • An ethernet connection

  • A fast DSL line

  • A cable modem (may work -- depending on how busy your network is at the time)
Now you're ready to check out 24-hour uncompressed audio – only at KEXP.org!
