Sound On

You might have noticed that uploading a very high quality mp3 to the website http://myspace.com results in a very poor quality sound on the flash player. This is because MySpace will down-convert any mp3 above 96kbps 22khz stereo to the aforementioned bitrate and sample size.

Solution

Before uploading music to MySpace, save a copy of your pristine, high quality master wave file as 96kbps 22khz stereo (11khz per channel). The website will post the file as uploaded without conversions.
