Worth trying.

Well, using a lower kbps didn't work. Uploaded Week 3 at 128kbps and it didn't make any difference. Seriously, I'm stumped. I've tried 2 different encoding programs. I guess I'll try Audacity next.

That makes sense. Adobe can afford to have their own proprietary codec or use the Fraunhofer codec.

@trash80 what do you use as your encoder if not Lame?

Haha well I have a Adobe Cloud license now so I've been using Adobe Audition. Which has a pretty badass encoder. It takes just a few seconds for a 5 min song to save. smile

I've found Lame has issues when using Chrome is all I meant. I tend to just use 320kbps CBR, seems to work well.

I'll make a low quality version next time around.

128kbps is so 1997 ;p

Loads of people must be using Lame though (i use audacity for example)...

I'm pretty sure that Audacity uses Lame, too, since they say on their site that they can't distribute mp3 encoding software themselves due to software patents (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/fa … i=lame-mp3), so I don't think that's really the difference. What kbps do you encode at?

128 kbps. That's actually what I meant - that Audacity uses Lame. I could have been clearer but I meant that the options when using Lame encoding must be what the difference is.  Perhaps you took something slightly higher, and some of us had some bad internet conditions...? Can't think what else it would be really, as it played for some.

The song then played just fine.
