Thanks, Grant, for listening again.  I'm hoping that this will be close to the final product.  I've been fortunate to have so much help.

Nice one Lynn. I've been listening to a lot of Joe Bonamassa lately and this is right in that ballpark. Harmonica is very tasty and perfectly placed.. I'd like to hear your stuff at a better streaming quality than SC provides, I don't think it does your mixes justice.

Thanks so much, James.  I'd like to be in JB's ballpark, but I know better.  Honestly, my ears aren't quite good enough to hear a big difference in streaming quality as others.  I upload 256k mp3 files, and I'm not sure what the limits are with Soundclick or Soundcloud.  Do you or anyone else have a recommendation for a better format?  My rig can handle most anything, and I'm always looking to improve.

Lynn, SoundClick lets you upload 320kps file, if you have a paid account, which I believe you have, so go for it today!!
Your welcome!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Lynn, Almost forgot, sounding much better, what ever it was that you did. Nice song!!
 
Peace and Blessings, John

John, thanks for listening again.  Actually, I don't have a paid account to Soundclick, so that's probably why I'm using 246K.  I'll have to look into this.  I'd use Soundcloud, but I don't like the way they automatically play another song after the one you posted.  Often, the two songs that play back to back aren't even in the same genre.  Anyway, thanks, again, for encouraging me to play the harp after all these years.

I think the free Soundclick account streams at 128kbps, no matter what file size you upload. I have an account at Box.net for storage and file transfers (costs about $6 a month) which also lets me stream at 320kbps.

Hey Lynn!
 
SoundCloud: I've had pretty good results with SoundCloud myself.  I upload high res WAV files (not MP3).  They ultimately stream at 128kbps, but the difference is with some other services where you upload an encoded MP3, it then gets RE-encoded as 128kbps, so in effect, it's compressed twice.  This is bad for the music.  At least with SoundCloud, my WAV uploads are not not double-encoded. ;)
 
BandCamp: https://bandcamp.com/help/audio_basics
They also default to 128kbps streaming, but can also do VBR streams.  Also, when you download a song or album from BandCamp, they can deliver it in many formats, including WAV, lossless FLAC, ALAC, AAC, OGG, 320kbps MP3, and more.
 
Bottom line is streaming is great for demos, but downloads will provide higher fidelity if that's your goal.  BandCamp is great for high fidelity downloads.

It's Always nice to hear some blues, I like it.

I have got quite used to SoundCloud and it is my favourite hosting service at the moment. It's a shame about the streaming bit rate but because I never intend selling my music, I always make my tracks downloadable, which I upload at 320kbps (although for some reason this fact is overlooked by a majority of my "many" *ahem* listeners).
