I have been struggling with this particular part of my bind/dhcp configuration on my home machine for a few days now and was ecstatic to find your post! This is to assure you that your brain dump has helped me and probably a lot more other ubuntu enthusiasts with their attempts at unraveling the ddns update mystery :) Thanks again!

By changing the format of the media file I verified that the stream is in fact of a higher quality than when played back. Perhaps, some people don't have M4A codecs...

My name is Andy. I wrote Replay Media Catcher and work for Applian. A 64 kbps M4A (AAC) will actually sound better than a 128 kbps MP3 and at the same time reduce file size which is why Pandora switched formats. There may be some settings in iTunes (or a codec) making the M4A sound bad. Converting to MP3 will not make it sound better. It would be like taking a PNG and converting/saving it as JPG. If anything, the quality should get worse. Converting to a better known format such as MP3 may be a better option for you anyway. I just wanted to let you know about AAC files. If you want more information on the subject, google "m4a vs. mp3" -andy. Hello Matt…
