Re: [microsound] Last.fm sound quality?

If you upload 192kbps or vbr alt-preset-standard mp3's it shouldn't
give a problem. They do not recompress the files at all. You upload
the files and a few seconds later they are online.
So if you make the mp3's yourself you have got full-control of the
whole deal. Just check what you upload before.

Groet,
