Myspace sound quality

[zongo]

Hi!

I notice that everytime i upload a track on myspace the quality of the track really changes a lot (in a bad way). Why is that? Does anybody else notice this and what can you do to prevent it? I always upload 320' mp3

use soundcloud

+1.

I'm now using Myspace only to attract people to my Soundcloud page.

be glAD IT CONVERTS TO sh!t quality - theres simple free programs to rip the music directly from the myspace player.

You can rip music from any players.

So it is a better idea to convert our track to 128k before uploading to myspace?

as far as i know they have 96kbit, so it make sense to upload it in that qualtiy, bit iam not 100% sure they leave the track unconverted then..

Ugh, myspace is awful. Just use soundcloud. It's loads better.

But what i do not understand is why some tracks will sound okay (just to listen) and other tracks will sound like sh*t...
Maybe it has something to do with the overall volume/master, like someone said

be aware that you can rip the original uploaded file of myspace
So if you upload mastered track at 320kbps, eveybody who knows how can rip your tracks.
That's why a lot of producers only upload 2 minutes or put a long fade at the beginning and end of the track.

www.file2hd.com is the site that can be used to rip html sites

even at 96k they will convert it again.
