I have posted a few hours of microtonal mp3 to myplay.com. Unfortunately
something is screwy with my setup and I can't listen to it. Perhaps
someone here can, so here is the URL:

John S.:

That's a great idea! If you were to encode it at, say, 16k or 20k (24k at most) instead of
128k, then those of us with modem connections (probably 95% or more) would be able to listen to
it. As it stands, only those with cable, DSL, ISDN, or corporate/university connections will
be able to use it. MP3 music doesn't seem to suffer quite as badly from low bit rate as Real
Audio does. It gets a little grainy and has some noticeable artifacts, but it tends to lose
low end instead of high end like Real Audio does. IMO, that gives better sound for music,
whereas Real seems better for speech.

Is there any way to get a lower bandwidth version? I'm lucky to get 28,800
bps with the quality of the phone lines here; I usually connect at 26,400.
