My songs don sound right on my player. Is there something wrong with the SongPlanet encoder?
Internet radio, and for that matter, any radio, compresses the sound files. This is most likely to be noticed by artists who are very familiar with the nuances of their own songs. The song files that are available free to listeners that visit an artist page are encoded by SongPlanet from the original MP3 that is uploaded by the artist (a 192 kbps MP3) to a 128 kbps Joint Stereo MP3, for hifi, and a 24 kbps mono MP3, for lofi. For the best sounding streams, we recommend encoding your songs from the original CD or .wav file using Joint Stereo mode (this is in addition to our requirement of 192 kbps constant bit-rate MP3 files). Digital download sales allow your fans to purchase the original, higher quality MP3. If you’d like to check out some different audio recorder/editor/encoder software, click here.
