Hmm 64 bits of AAC or 128 bits of MP3? I guess that would fall to personal choice as which is "better". Looks like the AAC is back now anyway.
Musing: Would there be any utility in having a list of URLS for each "station"? moOde could try them in order until it gets one that works. For cases like KEXP where there are >1 roughly equivalent URLS it provides a fail-over facility should one stream fail, for cases such as the BBC streams we could try the geofenced hi rate first then fail to the low rate non geofenced if one is in the wrong place, for multiple quality streams we can try the high quality and if the connection becomes unstable drop to the lower.
Guess it depends on three factors:

Guess it depends on three factors:
- How many stations provide more than one stream?
- How irritated would people be by the potential delay as moOde tries to find a stream that works?
- How possible it is to code it, and would the added complexity outweigh any benefit?
