Using Mixcloud....

Ive just signed up to Mixcloud thanks to Jesc, mentioning there is a free iphone/ipod app available. Now it says there are no upload limits you just have to follow 3 rules. One of them is that the file must be no bigger than 100mb. Now ive been looking thru my mixes on itunes and the ones that are around 68mb are only 128kbs, i have a mix on there that is 256kbs and that file size is 136mb, so do you think if i save them in itunes as 192kbs then it will fall under the 100mb limit? and will that sound quality be good enough for if people download for there ipods etc?

@ 192 you're looking about 1MB/minute... give or take

well do you thnk 128 is ok for putting on ipods etc? is it good enough quality?

be the same quality as the pirated music on most ipods

I ran into the same problem. I finally broke down and purchased a slot on soundcloud...it just made it easier that way. It still looks like I'm going to need to upgrade again though since deleting old tracks doesn't free up space...BS IMO.

deleting old tracks does free up space... you confuse me sir, confuse me i say!!

i'm running the second one up of the pay ones 9euros/month and 12 hrs of time. sweet deal imo - as prefer soundcloud to mixcloud

If you do 60min mixes at 192CBR you'll be hovering around 90mb. Any longer and you'll have to either split up the mix or go down in quality. 192 is good enough for online mixes I'd say, any less and you really start lose a lot of 1's and 0's in there
