Most of the internet players, especially the free ones limit the streaming to 128 on the free accounts.

HOWEVER... even though you know it will be trashed down to 128kbs.....
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER upload a 128kbs file to their servers...NEVER.

Go ahead and convert from wave to 320KBS and upload that. No matter what you upload, they will convert and it does make a difference what you send.

A few years back, I was loading 128's thinking that would work. the 128 in my studio sounded just fine. But once it was uploaded the piano sounded warbled and just plain nasty. I rendered it again to 320 and redid the upload. This time the piano was clean and steady.

Send the highest bit rate MP3 that fits in the maximum size allowed for the account. If it's too big, drop ONE bit rate and try again. Soundclick limits to 10MB.... so I check now before I upload.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
