Hi all,
any suggestions as to what the best bitrate to use for the Lofi songs? Something that's the best balance of sound/playability for those who can't stream hifi?
thanks, smili |

Hi Smili,
Best balance for those who can't stream Hi Fi is 32 Kbps...it still confortable for dial up users and give more nuances than 24!
On the other side ya have a lo fi convertor in your page manager that will convert to 16Khz / 24 Kbps automatically! ( left block bottom page)
peace
alek  |

thanks Alec,
I was listening to some lofi streams and there's quite an upgrade in quality going from 24 to 96 or 128. It's amazing to me that an mp3 with 1/10th of the data of a 40 meg wav can still sound so much like the original.

Hi Smili,
How did you get from 24 to 96 to 128?
Is there a place here to do this ? I've noticed a big difference in some lofi as well. |

I was using a program called dbPowerAmp (www.download.com) and just testing file resolutions to see what differences I could hear. I was taking an initial wav file and converting at 24Kbps, 32Kbps, on up.

So we need to separately upload in lo-fi rather than use the converting option for our songs to be at the higher rate? Here's me thinking everyone uses lo-fi convert and somewhere at this site, it can be upgraded. Me thinks a membership upgrade might be in order  |
