I read that SoundCloud converts to 128 kbps mp3 encryption but if you want your file to be downloadable, then the original format you use will be the one that is downloaded.

I don't allow my songs to be downloaded but I uploaded at my normal 44/24 wave format anyway.  I have found that it does lose quality but not as much as I would think based on their low encrytion spec.

Yes, Tracey Tracey... I notice it too... No, it's not just you... 

notnat, out of curiosity I've just compared your "Never Was" (nice stuff by the way :)  A/B soundcloud vs SoundClick .
My first impression was that it sounds clearer and fuller on SoundClick. 
I guess Tracy is right!

There are some music hosting sites that will allow higher-res mp3 file uploads... a SoundClick VIP account will allow 320kbps uploads, but you have to pay extra for it... and who knows if that's what you're really listening to, while streaming... I believe it is, and I believe they sound better, but I could be wrong...   
 
 Maybe I'm just rationalizing that monthly bill I get from SoundCloud SoundClick...
