Too small upload limit

Fraser	Date: February 8, 2009 @ 9:04 PM I'm talking about per song. I have nothing against the max storage per person, but the size limit per song is way too small. Everytime I produce something, I need to produce a second, low quality file to upload onto dmusic. Nothing against the second file, but I want people to hear the full length, high quality file.
Distilled1	Date: February 8, 2009 @ 9:05 PM what is the size you are trying to get uploaded? and bit rate, time etc.
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 4:37 AM 192kbps isn't THAT bad and you'll get an 8 minute song into that if the upload limit is 12MB (or 6 minutes at 256Kbps, at which point streaming becomes a bit of a buffering nightmare here) - I'm forever creating multiple versions of mp3 encoded songs for different sites.
evansorchid	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:03 AM What is the upload limit? I think the longest song I have is somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 minutes and sits around 10MB encoded at 256kbps. I never had an issue with it as most of my tracks are usually 4 to 5 minutes in length.
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:15 AM 12MB for non-subs, I think... Or was, anyway.
LordTaliesyn	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:18 AM 1 gig on subs, unless I did something to my account while testing.
Mojosnake	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:18 AM yup , it's 12MB .... of wich i have never had a problem .. buts thats because i cant write write a song thats bigger than 7MB
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:25 AM So we're talking approx: 12min at 128kbps 8min at 192kbps 6min at 256kbps 4.8min at 320kbps (actual amounts slightly bigger of course but it's good enough target to aim for)
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:27 AM geek mode, i make it 5.12min for 320kbps, assuming you can get a fail dead on 12MB...
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:27 AM a fail? crap, bad case of Moamitis. FILE!

ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:34 AM Glad you approve, chicken defiler
zedsalt	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 10:07 AM On a really good day, I could download a 12 meg file in about five and a half hours. I'm all for upping the per song limit or doing away with it entirely, but I feel like I should mention that when I start a download and see a file is anywhere near that big, I pretty much always hit "Cancel". -...provided it's not interrupted by a phone call. Now there's something I really would like to see: the ability to "restart" an interrupted download within a short period of time.
Mojosnake	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 11:10 AM EPIC!!!!!
Distilled1	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 12:16 PM anything over 192 to stream seems over kill to me. 320 for a Good DL but 128k even is fine for streaming I tell you I cant tell the diff between it and 192 stream wise.)
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 1:16 PM It's weird here but I can download a song pretty quickly... However, streaming 256 or 320 (even with my buffer size increased) more often than not suffers from that evil stop/start buffering. What IS going on with that?
Distilled1	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 1:24 PM I don't have that Chris .. in SL UK stuff is always a mess streaming unless its on a UK server(shoutcast) I wonder if there is some issue with the pipeline in the Atlantic? and that's in winamp 5.?(standard settings. as well as wi fi and WMP vista(yuck I know but I don't want to fill the lap top with more stuff yet.)
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 1:32 PM Yep, I wonder with the pipeline but everything else, including download speeds, are more than enough to take it. I bumped up my buffer from the standard (a piddly 64KB) up to 768KB... That sorted it out although I had one 8 minute song buffer on me, although the 10 second wait for the song to start is a pain now
GeneHilbert	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 3:29 PM Some of my older tunes a 128k - but now I always post 320k - no one has complained about not being able to listen because of interruptions.
ChillinBuzz	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 3:51 PM I'm always having problems with pipes, it seems...
Fraser	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 4:05 PM Songs of mine are usually in between 10 and 15 MBs. Maybe I'm just complaining
TameasDust	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 5:53 PM Complain away .. it is good for the soul
GeneHilbert	Date: February 9, 2009 @ 9:30 PM between 10 and 15 MBs = become a subscriber. It's not that much...... If you're like me and have tunes all over the place. Then you know the limits of, myspace (down sample), soundclick and other free sites. That's just the way it works, server space and maintenance aren't cheap and I think a great perk of being a subscriber is having huge amounts of storage to place and promote your works.

Maybe I'm just complaining Not at all, it's good to want to be able to offer the user the whole song at the highest bitrate. Not everyone is into the 3 minute commercial chart offerings.
TameasDust	Date: February 11, 2009 @ 9:24 AM oh god .. I want to play with this, but this is a serious topic so I won't.
zedsalt	Date: February 11, 2009 @ 9:46 AM It just occurred to me- the 128 bit MP3s that I've posted on archive.org were automatically made available in 64 bit. I don't know, offhand, if I've ever tried to stream a 64 bit MP3 here at home. That's something I ought to try, because those are two things I've never been able to do here: stream a music file and/or hear the difference between a 320 bit and a 64 bit MP3...
