NEW LIMBAUGH PREMIUM SERVICE

The Rush Limbaugh show inaugurated a new download service for its Premium Rush 24/7 subscribers on Friday.
Paid members who have a Rush 24/7 subscription can go to the Limbaugh web site and download a small application. Then the setup allows you to specify what folder on your hard drive will be used to receive automatic mpg3 files of Rush's daily programs, divided into three files per day, one file per hour of broadcast time.
We tested the service and found the sound quality exceptional. Also, the size of the three files it takes to save Rush's full three hours is surprisingly small. The initial download of Friday's show took only about 5 megs of hard drive.
Once the download application is installed on your hard drive, Rush's full three hours per day will be sent to your computer automatically about 2 hours after actual air time, assuming you are connected to the internet. The service will be especially good for those with cable and dsl internet connections.
Each hour of material is devoid of all music, parodies and commercials, so we found that Rush's actual talking time was about 35 minutes per hour of actual broadcast time.
The automatic download feature can temporarily be disabled with ease. So you can go on long vacations and not use up hard drive space while you are away.
