But I find the SoundCloud version so ugly considering the sound quality…
I know SoundCloud re-encodes ALL tracks to MP3 128 kbps. So it is really recommended to NOT upload MP3 files but other lossless formats as FLAC, WAV, etc…
My experience is that it sounds really better when excluding lossy formats for uploads…
The soundcloud stream is at 128 but the download version is the original mix which I choose to encode at 192 which I think is sufficient for listening to. The original tracks are already encoded at 320 so anything more than that would be redundant (and very large file size) and I do hope that people support the artists and buy original versions (at the higher quality) of tracks they like.
