sound quality
What's up with the sound quality? This seems like a really nice service. However, it seems like it is recomposing files that are already at 128k. To my ears a track I just uploaded sounds terrible. this track:

Inappropriate?As many other services we re-encode all the material that's uploaded to ensure compatibility to the end-users. You'll achieve greater sound quality the less compressed format you upload ad we would love to have your tracks uploaded uncompressed!

Inappropriate?Nils, are you really sure the higher quality you upload, the higher the end quality of the stream will be?
I have a feeling that the quality of compressing from the sc server isnt as good as compressing it with your own pc i.e. I feel 192kbit uploads sound better than wave uploads.
I presume even when I upload 192kbit it gets compressed to 128kbit but somehow this difference isnt that audible while the wave->128kbit is.
