Audio Quality on the Lesson Pages

Has anyone else noticed that the audio quality on the lesson pages (i.e. using the little flash player below the photo) has gotten exceedingly bad lately?

I don't necessarily have to have CD-quality, but it's got to be better than what I'm hearing through the flash player. I now have to download the CD-quality file in a separate window when I study, which is kind of annoying because I stop/start the lesson audio frequently while I study the transcript.

I apologize if this has already been addressed, but after a brief search, I wasn't able to find where anyone had mentioned it.

I don't use the Audio quality files.

However, I notice with the CD quality files, the embedded meta file with the dialogue transcript, often has many of the Chinese characters missing when I play it on my ipod. (pinyin and english are intact).

Anyone else have this problem ?

the audio does seem a bit patchy on the players

Also, now that most lessons aren't on the free feed, why aren't we getting the full transcripts in both file qualities?
