I have noticed that Big Finish is updating older downloads from 160 kbps to 256 kbps. I thought it might be useful to keep a list of these bitrate updates for others to check. Please let me know if I miss anything! (NB some titles seem to have been updated in 2013 but I didn’t notice which is why the date is set at 24 April 2014).

Is it worth just writing the entire EDAS range (I assume that they are completely updated, as Resurrection on was 256 kbps from the off, I believe)?

Looks like there’s going to be a main range sale soon-13/12 Days of Christmas style. I wonder how much of the range is going to be discounted-as of today, the first sixty are confirmed.

They’re certainly being methodical about getting them upgraded in sequence now. I think there’s a good chance you’re right. I had wondered if they were getting ready for a Charley sale as she has joined Legacy but I have abandoned that theory!
