Optimizing your MySpace.com Player

(This information maybe obsolete. Check Myspace.com forum for updates)

If you want to upload the best possible sound quality to MS and have a stereo mix or a song that exceeds 8 minutes, you have a problem. The limit upload size at MySapce.com is 6 MB.

This means that you will need to compromise the quality of the mp3 you render to the MS player or chop it up so that it fits within your desired bit rate.

Therefore, for 8 minutes long, you should render your mp3 at 96 Kbps/44.1 kHz. The upload should be approximately 5.25MB.

For 5 min. songs I recommend bit rate at 128 Kbps/44.1 kHz. The upload should be approximately 4.55MB.

For 4 min. songs I recommend bit rate at 196 Kbps/44.1 kHz. The upload should be approximately 5.48MB.

For 3 min. songs I recommend bit rate at 256 Kbps/44.1 kHz. The upload should be approximately 5.50MB. All in stereo, of course.
