Adams I just emailed LivePhish customer service and asked what bit rate the new Live Phish Plus service would be streaming at, and this was their somewhat disconcerting answer:

"[LivePhish.COM] What bit rate does Live Phish Plus stream at?

I believe they are 64kbps VBR.

Please let us know if you require further assistance.
Thanks for supporting Live Phish Downloads.

I really hope this is incorrect. They're charging the same rate as services like Spotify Premium or Google Play Music that offer tens of millions of albums, and not only is the library incredibly smaller, but instead of 320 kbps they're going to stream at 64 kbps?? I would have trouble justifying paying this price even if they offered a high quality bit rate, so this is just weird.
