Unfortunately you don't have much choice in what you can upload (other than what you do to it before). Unless it has changed very recently, you must use MP3s and you'll be lucky to get 160kbps on the average song due to file size restrictions. I would image most are 128kbps or lower. The less-than-friendly upload verification process lets you wait until the file is uploaded before telling you it's too big! I seem to rememer 6MB being about the limit. Don't think you need different EQ - God knows what crap speakers people will play the stuff on so how can you know  Obviously you are up against commercial smashed mixes on many of the non-band pages, which might tempt you into doing the same as you may only have seconds to grab someone's attention...which is a damn shame...as you know want to massacre your mixes and more than the 128kbps MP3 will do anyway Tagworld (www.tagworld.com) however, lets you upload much bigger files (MP2s if you like). You can go well over 10MB here, and I have uploaded 224kbps MP3s for 8 minute songs with no problems! (VBRs don't work tho) Trouble is, not many people know about Tagworld so you're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place if you want people to discover your stuff. Maybe Myspace will change things...  |

Is there a way at My Space to do a quick "smashed and loud" preview for the Ibook speakers and have a better sounding version for the download? You could explain it, you could mark it, "preview version" or "Loud version" or "single version"? BK
